Cycling day trip from Strasbourg to Mulhouse

Set off from the picturesque city of Strasbourg, famed for its half-timbered old town and the majestic Strasbourg Cathedral. Heading south, this ride takes you through France’s scenic Alsace region—almost 130 km of mostly smooth, paved surfaces perfect for a leisurely day-long adventure or a spirited ride. You’ll find yourself cruising mostly on dedicated cycleways (around 60% of the route!), so traffic worries are minimal and the scenery abundant.

This route stays nice and gentle, with only a bit over 180 meters of elevation gain—ideal if you prefer long rides without punishing hills. Along the way, you’ll pass through charming villages, rolling fields, and stretches of tranquil countryside, eventually rolling into Mulhouse. Known for its rich industrial history and inventive spirit, Mulhouse is also famous for its Cité de l’Automobile—a must-see for car enthusiasts.

Pack some snacks, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the Alsace region’s colorful blend of French and German influences on this memorable cycling adventure!
