There are just so many magnificent well-kept Alsatian half-timbered houses along this route, take your time and enjoy the beauty of them. There are also several cafés and restaurants along the way

The Cycleway is for the most part on smooth asphalt however in the village of Hirsingue the signage takes one on to a non-asphalted surface. It would be nice if the community would perhaps reevaluate the cycleway through the beautiful village of Hirsingue.

Former railroad line Hirsingue-Carspach

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The former Altkirch-Waldighofen railway line has been converted into a cycle path in some sections, leading through fields and forests without disturbing car traffic. Highly recommended!

The surface is a good asphalted road which is free from automobile traffic for the most part. This is obvious through a large speed bump im the middle of the road. The officials need to paint this speed bump in a fluorescent color so that one may see it until the last minute as it blends in well with the color of the pavement.

The Sundgau ponds

Highlight • Other

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.

Great little cafe in Ferrette, ideal for a quick snack before heading off towards Landskrone Castle. From Leymen you can also ride your racing bike right up there and enjoy the view. The descent is then via a small path, and shortly before reaching the castle there is a steep descent over Switzerland...

Descent from Ferrette to Bouxwiller

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fairly steady descent from Ferette to Bouxwiller. The road is quite wide and has maximum gradients of around 9%. The descent is 3 km long and in the other direction it could be a nice short climb.
