Ammertzwiller

Highlight • Settlement

Ammertzwiller is a quiet Alsatian village that is surprisingly convenient for cyclists on the road. There are a few mini markets, restaurants and even a chemist – ideal for stocking up on provisions or taking a break. The village is set in rolling countryside and offers lovely picnic spots overlooking the fields. Information boards in the village tell the story of the local history during the First World War, making this stop not only practical but also meaningful."

Riverside café

Highlight • Restaurant

A nice garden cafe, usually opens in the afternoon. Cake, coffee, cold drinks and sometimes tarte flambée. The landlady attaches great importance to retro ambience :)

Every Lock Provides a Good Background

Highlight • Other

Every lock along the route provides for an unusual background and a good memory of your bike trip. A lot of these locks have a bridge going over them, take the time to branch off the bridge and discover some of the nice villages along the canal.

Canal path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This little-used route runs along the canal and offers a beautiful walk along the water. It follows the EuroVélo 6 cycle route: you are therefore likely to meet other cyclists.

Balschwiller Washhouse

Highlight • Monument

This picturesque washhouse was built in the 19th century. It replaced an old washhouse from 1680 which housed 20 washerwomen. A real journey through time!
