On a budget
Sporty bike loop around Saverne (3h)
By Laurène

As you know, I like to test many cycling loops in Alsace. We are fortunate to have a lot of different itineraries to choose from, where you can enjoy yourself no matter what your level is. This cycling loop around Saverne, which is the BL 370 “Rohan castles and abbeys”, is for those who like […]

Bike loop in the Thur and Doller valleys (2h)
By Laurène

After having discovered a cycling itinerary in the Thur valley some time ago, I’m taking you today on a new cycling loop, this time straddling the Thur and Doller valleys, the two most southern valleys ofAlsace. A shorter bike ride than the previous one: only 26km you, but you will still have to make a […]

Bicycle ride to discover the Ried d’Alsace (3h)
By Laurène

What if you went by bike to discover the Ried, this part of Alsace less known than others but which is also interesting? The Ried is the plain of Alsace, located between the Vosges on one side and the Rhine on the other (with the Black Forest on the German side). It is an interesting […]

Here is a pleasant bicycle loop starting from Molsheim, the local loop 312 “Bulles et Bugatti” of Alsace à Vélo. It allows you to discover little-known but very beautiful corners of Alsace.

Visit of the “Maisons des Rochers”: troglodyte houses in Alsace
By Laurène

Have you ever heard of the Graufthal Rock Houses? I had already admired these troglodyte houses nestled at the foot of the pink sandstone cliffs from the outside one day but had not yet had the opportunity to visit them. Yes, these incredible blue houses can be visited and it is really worth it! Where […]

Schnapps walk in Sasbachwalden (Germany)
By Laurène

For this unusual hike, I take you to Sasbachwalden, in the Black Forest, with our German neighbors. Two itineraries called “Schnapsbrunnenwege” (the paths of the schnapps fountains, quite a program, eh?) exist in this charming Black Forest wine village located 40km from Strasbourg. Some friends told me about these original routes, allowing to hike in […]

Walk to the Nideck waterfall and the castle ruins
By Laurène

The Nideck waterfall is certainly the most famous waterfall of Alsace, and for good reason: with its 25 meters, it is the highest waterfall in Alsace! It took me a little while to decide to go see it because I was a little afraid of the crowds and of being disappointed, but I actually really […]

Visit of the Ryumon Ji Zen Temple in Weiterswiller
By Laurène

Here is an unusual place that I am happy to have discovered near La Petite Pierre: the Zen temple Ryumon Ji of Weiterswiller, which means “temple of the dragon door of the old mountain”. It is a Buddhist monastery where a community of monks and nuns lead a monastic life according to the rules of […]

Here is a bicycle loop in Alsace off the beaten track, which allows you to discover the Zorn region, northwest of Strasbourg and southwest of Haguenau. The area is not very well known by tourists but is nevertheless very pleasant: what if we discovered it by bike? I propose you here the local loop 227 […]
