Rechts und links des Rheins

South of Karlsruhe and north of Strasbourg, this tour leads to the Rhine on both the French and German sides. Naturally, the route is completely flat, and even less experienced cyclists can easily manage this nearly 60 km ride. However, there is often a noticeable wind blowing upstream, meaning headwind heading north. The starting point chosen was the ferry dock in Neuburgweier; the ferry first takes you to the other side of the Rhine. A few kilometers still go through Rhineland-Palatinate before you travel - almost always along the river - through Alsace. Crossing the Rhine bridge at Iffezheim, you return to Baden-Württemberg and can get back to the starting point via the numerous bike paths through the riparian forests or the lightly trafficked side roads through the Rhine villages.
