Basel - Strasbourg

Rhine Cycle Path II

Picturesque Basel is the starting point of our bike tour through the Rhine valley from Basel to Strasbourg. The Rhine has created these landscapes, it leads through fantastic natural landscapes, the impressive heights of the Black Forest always firmly in view, to the Baden wine route and to Freiburg, with its tranquil old town. Colmar, the capital of Alsace wine, is already waiting on the other side of the Rhine. Picturesque and typically French, the little river Lauch and numerous canals flow around the old town. At the foot of the Vosges Mountains, you will cycle along the French Wine Route, through dreamy villages with lots of Alsatian half-timbering and medieval town centers, some of which have been almost completely preserved. Basel and Strasbourg - the two daughters of the Father Rhine - were raised by the Rhine to become true cultural sites.

Your highlights:

  • Nature and landscape on the banks of the Rhine
  • Cities like Basel, Freiburg, Colmar and Strasbourg
  • The wine route and its typical villages
  • The friendly welcome and the conviviality of the locals
