Pont de la Hardt

Highlight • Bridge

The Pont de la Hardt, also called Pont de la Hardt Erich Dilger-Alain Foechterlé (name of the two mayors who worked on its creation) marks the border between France and Germany. It has one lane reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, and another for vehicles, in alternating traffic.

If you cross the Rhine, which forms the border, you will reach this lock in France for shipping in the parallel Rhine side canal (Grand Canal d'Alsace). To the west of the lock there is still a hydroelectric power plant and a little south on the canal is the recently decommissioned Fessenheim nuclear power plant. If you ride your bike south in the direction of the photo in front of the bridge over the lock on the island, you will have a few kilometers of coarse gravel in front of you. Although the path is wide and flat, it is quite difficult to ride a touring bike or gravel bike, especially in strong headwinds. The path actually requires wide mountain bike tires, even though it is perfectly flat. Only after a few kilometers do you reach the edge of a golf course along an almost overgrown path and a very beautiful road through the forest with new asphalt that leads to the Rhine bridge in Neuchâtel.
Under no circumstances should you try to cool off in the water of the canal because it is surrounded by dangerously slippery and steep concrete. The enclosure has no stairs anywhere and it seems almost impossible to get back to land from the water.

Altrhein - Beautiful area

Highlight • Cycleway

I've cycled this path several times in both directions, and I always enjoy it very much. It's shady in places, has a fine gravel surface, and is easy to ride. It's quite secluded along the Rhine dike; for more civilization, you have to take the side paths to the small villages in the southern Baden Rhine plain.

Beautiful path directly on the water, not completely overcrowded even on the weekend.

Breisach on the Rhine

Highlight • Settlement

The cityscape of Breisach is primarily defined by St. Stephen's Minster. Situated on Münsterberg hill, it is visible from afar. The views of Alsace and the Black Forest are best enjoyed from up there.

The historic town center of Breisach lies directly behind the minster. In the lower town is the renowned Geldermann sparkling wine cellar. As part of a guided tour with a sparkling wine tasting, you can descend into the cellars of this privately owned winery. Tours take place Monday through Saturday at 2 p.m. (no registration required). From March to October, tours are also offered on Sundays. The tour, including the tasting, lasts approximately one hour and costs five euros per person.
