Quick ride by bicycle from Strasbourg to Ostwald

This relaxed cycle ride takes you from Strasbourg’s vibrant city center—right in the heart of Alsace—all the way to the charming suburb of Ostwald, just south of town. Covering about 7.6 km, the route is mostly flat (so, say au revoir to thigh-burning climbs!) and takes just under an hour for a leisurely pedal.
