This region has hundreds of small fishponds, once created by monks in the Middle Ages. Today they form a patchwork of water, reeds and forest – a paradise for birds, cyclists and those seeking peace and quiet. You cycle along quiet banks, see herons take flight and enjoy local specialities such as fried carp along the way.

In and around Hindlingen you have a good chance of spotting storks anyway, especially in spring and summer, but here you are certain. These elegant birds nest on roofs and poles, and forage in the wet meadows around the village. A nice moment to stop and enjoy this living symbol of Alsace.

Right next to the Largue cycle path lies this cosy nature centre in Altenach. You will find a short educational walk, a playground, picnic benches and a small exhibition about the nature of Alsace. Ideal to stretch your legs, have a bite to eat or go exploring with children. Free admission and open on Sunday afternoons in the summer months.

The restaurant Aux 100 Pâtés in Dannemarie is a pasta bar located along the Eurovelo 6 cycle path, near the Dannemarie marina in the Sundgau region. "We offer four types of pasta with over 50 side dishes made fresh on-site. Homemade desserts, hot and cold drinks, and ice cream are also on our menu." But I'm sure you'll find plenty of pasta here.
