Path Along the Rhône-Rhine Canal

Highlight • Trail

A very beautiful bike path along the "Canal du Rhône au Rhin," mostly lined with a tree-lined avenue. This provides a shady bike path in the summer. Partially paved, but …

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.

June 5, 2024,Rhein und Rhein-Rhone-Kanal Rundfahrt ab Vogelgrün
An easy round trip, even without an e-bike.
From the motorhome parking space on the Rhine island of Vogelgrün, we went through picturesque Breisach, always along the Rhine, until we crossed the Rhine at the Marckolsheim lock.
From Marckolsheim, we followed the idyllic Rhine-Rhone canal to Vogelsheim. Then it was just a stone's throw to our motorhome.

Hiking is not possible yet, so it's time to get on the bike - at least a leisurely, not too long ride is possible on my not-so-cool bike with a low entry.

I start in Breisach and ride over the Rhine bridge to France - via Volgelsheim to Neuf Brisach.

Here I circle around Vauban's fortifications.

1st tour in Alsace. Unfortunately, despite the good forecast, the weather did not play along. After about 30 kilometers, a thunderstorm was brewing. We sweetened the interruption with a delicious cherry beer. After the heavy shower, the tour continued. But unfortunately the peace did not last long. After a few kilometers, it started to rain again and a heavy rumble …

June 17, 2023,Kanäle im Elsass
The "Canal du Rhône au Rhin" runs a few kilometers from the Rhine through Alsace. In the summer heat, it's a great alternative to the hot, dusty route on the Rheindamm on the German side. The path is mostly shady and very easy to drive on. Some former lock houses are now small restaurants and invite you to rest. On …

The current snow drizzle and autumn fog makes me look back on warm August. To get in the mood for further bike tours, there should first be a flatland stage. Where better to do that than along a river or canal.

A nice tour, almost always along the water. On the way there along the Rhine to Breisach and up to the Münsterberg, which is well worth seeing, then back along the Canal de Colmar and Canal Rhone au Rhin to Mackolsheim in France, with a beautiful old town. All good roads to drive. And no water from above today 🙂.

Very nice tour, at the beginning quite a lot on the road, but you will be compensated for this later

Today's temperatures are expected to rise to 20°C. The sky is heavily overcast, yet the probability of rain is low. Therefore, we decide to drive to the edge of Alsace and begin our tour along the connecting canal to the Rhine-Rhône Canal.
We park in Marckolsheim in an empty school parking lot to prepare for the tour. It only takes …
