This is a fantastic cross-border ride from Karlsruhe, Germany to the beautiful city of Strasbourg, France. Covering just over 95 km, this mostly flat route (with just around 150 meters of ascent) is perfect for a day out in the saddle. The path winds through vineyards, small villages, and nature reserves, offering a real taste of the Rhine region.

You’ll mostly stick to paved surfaces, quiet roads, and dedicated cycling paths—ideal for enjoying the scenery without too much traffic. Expect some stretches on gravel, but nothing too rough. Starting in Karlsruhe, a city famous for its fan-shaped layout and innovative spirit, you’ll end your journey in Strasbourg, known for its stunning Gothic cathedral and picturesque canals.

Don’t forget your passport—crossing into France is a highlight of this ride! Enjoy a coffee in a German café to start, and celebrate with a fresh croissant in Strasbourg’s old town when you arrive. This route is a great way to experience two cultures in one day, all from the seat of your bike.
