Rhine Bridge and Dam at Breisach

Highlight • Bridge

On the Ile du Rhin you can take a little break in the shade of some trees. Alternatively, there is a conveniently located snack bar on the German side of the Europabrücke, which in its name could be operated by Scots, but offers fast (or junk) food rather than haggis and red and white labeled effervescent.

Straw Chimpanzee Sculpture at Neuf-Brisach Fortifications

Highlight • Structure

The fortifications of Neuf-Brisach are definitely worth a detour, even if the animal sculptures, made from perishable natural materials, can no longer be found there.

Colmar Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

Neuf Brisach has four city gates, each at a 90-degree angle to each other. Only two of the old city gates survived: the Belfort Gate and the Colmar Gate. This gate changed its function several times. Initially, it served as a bakery and kitchen for the army. Later, the Germans converted it into a police station and prison. The upper floor also served as a casino for the German garrison.

Canal de Colmar

Highlight (Segment) • River

Very nice way along the canal. Mostly graveled. When it's dry, it's great to ride the road bike.

Canal du Rhône au Rhin

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The cycle path with a good surface begins south of Strasbourg. The further you get to Neuf-Brisach, the longer the "Gravel" sections become. You can also ride it well with a racing bike, but the cruising speed is then not quite as high.

Beautiful cycle path along the canal

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The Canal de Neuf-Brisach, which is mistakenly shown here on the map as the Canal de Colmar (as of October 2025), was previously called the Canal de Rouffach or the Canal de Vauban. It was built by the engineer Vauban and completed in 1699. It served as a transport route for building materials from the Vosges Mountains for the construction of the fortified town of Neuf-Brisach. It was originally 37 km long and had 15 locks.
