Quick ride by bicycle from Strasbourg to Illkirch-Graffenstaden

This easygoing cycling route starts right in the heart of Strasbourg—a city famous for its stunning Gothic cathedral and Franco-German charm—and heads south to Illkirch-Graffenstaden, a lively suburb known for its parks and green spaces. Over about 10 km, you’ll enjoy smooth pedaling on mostly paved, flat terrain (only a gentle 13 meters of climbing), making it accessible for all riders.

You’ll spend much of your time on dedicated cycleways, gliding past the historic quays of Strasbourg and perhaps catching a glimpse of the city’s famous stork nests before the scenery turns greener as you approach Illkirch. The route keeps well away from busy roads, offering a peaceful ride among canals and tree-lined paths.

Illkirch-Graffenstaden itself is perfect for a post-ride stroll or picnic, especially in Parc Friedel with its mini zoo. Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, or just out for a relaxed spin, this route is a perfect way to explore both city sights and suburban tranquility!
