For cyclists, the canal towpath winds through landscapes of meadows, groves, and fields, punctuated by beautiful clearings. Its rows of trees protect cyclists from the intense Alsatian sun.

August 27, 2021,Radurlaub 27.8. Montbeliard- Mulhouse

When I arrived in Montbeliard, of course I had to find my way out of the city. 🙈
Luckily I got to the canal path relatively quickly. Channel / river alternating again. Times ⛅️ times 🌥. Everything, even downhill 😃
Still shopping on the way in Montreux - Château. And eat something right away 😋.
Already around 6.30 p.m. I …

June 21, 2024,EU24 Day 54 Montbeliard to Mulhouse

Today I’m counting as a rest day. I’ve only got 55 km to go and that’s to a little cabin in the caravan park south of Mulhouse.
There were a lot of storms and rain overnight that didn’t clear until about 9:30 am this morning, an extra incentive to use as much of the midday checkout as possible.

A beautiful, tranquil tour, always along the Canal du Rhone au Rhin, a dream for racing cyclists 😊...through very beautiful landscapes, no cars.

June 6, 2022,Jura FR: Tag 3 - Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne nach Bempflingen - Von Montbéliard nach Didenheim

an easy, simple and short tour. The only complication was that almost everything on the track was closed on Whit Monday. After 50 km I finally found something - even in the shade, because it was really hot today.
Driving into the Jura was definitely better than driving out - this is due to the increasing traffic now and that …

May 20, 2024,Tag 3: de Mulhouse à Étupe sur la EV6

Day 3
and the day started well today - sun and the prospect of sun all day long.
Finding a boulangerie was more difficult on a Whit Monday.
So we first passed the SunPub in Illfurth, but at 9:40 a.m. they were cleaning up. So we continued on and 30 minutes later we stopped at A l'Arbre Vert.
The garden …

April 11, 2022,Mulhouse nach Montbeliard

From Mulhouse we continued on the EV6 to Montbeliard, always along the Canal du Rhone au Rhin at countless locks. The bike path was excellent. Over 50 km without even driving on a country road.
The weather was sunny and the temperatures very pleasant.
