Tour Program

Day 1: Arrival in Strasbourg
You will arrive in Strasbourg, the European capital of Alsace, with a rich and dense heritage. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city has must-sees you will not want to miss: the lovely Petite France quarter, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Covered Bridges. The European quarter is also worth a visit.

Day 2: Strasbourg – Obernai (40 km; +200 m)
You will leave Strasbourg on a safe cycle path along the river. Your quiet route will follow the Bruche Canal, one of the prettiest greenways in Alsace, to Molsheim, a small wine town with centuries-old charm. In Rosheim, do not miss the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, one of the jewels of Alsatian Romanesque architecture. You will spend the night in the heart of the historic centre of Obernai, with its typical Alsatian charm.

Day 3: Obernai – Sélestat (35 km; +320 m)
You will continue along the Alsace Wine Route, discovering many charming villages, including Andlau and its Romanesque abbey, and Mittelbergheim, ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. Dambach-la-Ville is also worth a stop. The stage ends in Sélestat, a town of art and history, with its historic centre and its Humanist Library, listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World register.

Day 4: Sélestat – Kaysersberg (30 km; +365 m) + optional Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle 15 km
A short stage, rich in discoveries!

As you wish, you can stroll through villages ranked among the most beautiful in France, such as Riquewihr, or the lesser-known Hunawihr. You will spend the night in Kaysersberg, another classified, charming village. If you prefer not to take the bike option to the castle, a bus service runs there.
