Canal du Rhône au Rhin Tree-Lined Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Wonderfully relaxed cycling along the canal, it's always straight ahead. The route is also popular with racing cyclists. Asphalt is built between Marckolsheim and Strasbourg, from Neuf-Brisach to Marckolsheim good, fine gravel.

Canal du Rhône au Rhin Lock and Lockkeeper's House

Highlight • Structure

The Canal du Rhône au Rhin connects more exactly the Saône, a tributary of the Rhône, to the Rhine.

In Alsace, its banks have been paved from Marckolsheim to Strasbourg to allow easy cycling between the European capital and Colmar.
