Keyserberg castle

In the picturesque region of French Alsace, you'll cycle through extensive vineyards and charming villages along the wine routes, immersing yourself in the rich history of the area and raising a glass to your journey with its renowned wines. Alsace is particularly famous for its exquisite white wines, including Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Over the course of the six-day tour, you'll pedal from Colmar through the scenic Münstertal valley, and past numerous delightful hidden gems along the way

Colmar is the starting point of this tour with the day trips spanning out from the town. You initially visit the picturesque wine villages: Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Riquewihr and Kientzheim, with an option to also visit Turckheim and Eguisheim. After a rest day, the Münstertal Valley is on the agenda. The route then goes through the Rhine valley to Breisach, and along the canal cycle path back to Colmar.

  • Colmar: The cityscape is characterised by medieval charm and the architectural heritage of six hundred years. It is worth an extended tour around it.
  • Munster: Cheese lovers can look forward to tasting the delicious Munter, produced in the Munster valley east of the Vosges mountains. In the cheese museum you can learn everything about the soft French cheese!
  • The French Wine Route winds through Alsace, captivating visitors with its sprawling vineyards and picturesque villages like Riquewihr. Insider recommendations include exploring the vineyards away from the main thoroughfare for an authentic taste of the region and visiting Mont Sainte-Odile for breathtaking vistas. Immerse yourself in the culinary delights, culture, and charm of this extraordinary region!

This is a moderately difficult cycle tour. The cycle trails to the Rhine in Breisach are flat, whilst it is slightly hill on the French wine route and in Sundgau. The route leads along cycle paths and side roads with little traffic. Since there is little traffic outside the town centres, you can cycle in peace and enjoy nature.
