ravitodescyclos.com A pleasant place to sit and have a small and refreshing drink. In the weekend there are music performances. Ideal for an evening and then walk further to Dompeter and pitch the tent.

La Bruche and its canal

Highlight • Other

The Bruche is an emblematic river of Alsace, since it connects the Vosges to Strasbourg. Vauban used it to create an equally famous canal linking Molsheim to the Alsatian capital.

This towpath was essential to erect the cathedral of Strasbourg. It made it possible to transport the sandstone from Soultz-les-Bains necessary for the construction of the Gothic work. Today, it is a cycle path appreciated by Alsatians for their walks by bike, on foot or on rollerblades.
