Quick ride by bicycle from Eguisheim to Colmar

Roll out from postcard-pretty Eguisheim, one of France’s “Plus Beaux Villages,” nestled in Alsace’s vineyards. The route to Colmar is an easy 9.6 km spin, mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways. It’s essentially flat with a gentle net downhill into town (only ~20 m of climbing), so it’s friendly for all levels. Surfaces are largely asphalt, with a couple short stretches where the surface may vary, but standard tires are fine.

You’ll glide past vines and villages before picking up signed bike lanes as Colmar approaches. Colmar is the capital of Alsatian wine and famous for its half-timbered houses and Little Venice quarter. If you’ve got time, the Unterlinden Museum (home to the Isenheim Altarpiece) is a stellar stop. Park up by the canals and celebrate with a tarte flambée or a glass of Riesling.

A relaxed, scenic link between two Alsace gems—perfect for a leisurely afternoon ride.
