If you’re up for a classic cross-border ride, the route from Freiburg im Breisgau to Colmar is a gem! Starting out in the vibrant “Green City” of Freiburg, with its historic old town and famous Bächle (little water-filled runnels), you’ll find yourself on mostly smooth, paved surfaces, cruising through the peaceful Rhine Valley toward France.

The ride stretches just under 83 km and, besides a bit of gentle ascent out of Freiburg, is fairly flat—so it’s perfect for an enjoyable day trip. You’ll follow dedicated cycle paths and quiet country roads, passing charming villages and plenty of scenic farmland. Don’t be surprised to spot storks or stop for a pastry at a rural bakery.

Crossing into Alsace, you’ll roll into Colmar, a picture-perfect town full of colorful half-timbered houses, canals, and irresistible French bakeries. Colmar in itself is worth the ride! So, pack some snacks—maybe even an extra croissant for the border—and enjoy watching Germany melt into France under your wheels.
