Tips from the Community
Met the mayor of the town today when I wanted to refill my bottles, he told me not to drink the water. This also applies to the other wells in town. I drank two bottles of it, everything was fine.

The bridge in the town of Merxheim over the river Ill is worth a short stop for a photo, or simply to admire. The Ill is 217 km long in total, originates in the Jura, flows through the departments of Haut Rhin, Bas Rhin and flows as a left tributary into the Rhine near Erstein, which is located south of Strasbourg.

A pleasant section to ride, with moderate climbs and little traffic. There were a few racing cyclists on the road.

No, swimming or bathing is not permitted in Lac de la Lauch. Located in the Vallée de la Lauch, Lac de la Lauch is a reservoir fed by the Lauchbach stream, which flows in and out. It serves as a source of drinking water. The valley, with its meltwater streams running along the mountain slopes, is relatively rich in water and features shady forests.

The Langenstein menhir (a 4-meter-high long stone) was erected in 1904 by a Soultzmatt industrialist, who recognized this block as an overturned menhir. Legend tells that on full moon nights, fairies, or White Ladies, come to dance around the Langenstein. During this ceremony, the stone is said to begin spinning!
