Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Strasbourg à Brunstatt

Looking for a scenic ride in Alsace? This route takes you from the historic city of Strasbourg all the way south to Brunstatt, covering just over 132 km. Strasbourg, with its charming half-timbered houses and famous cathedral, is a cycling-friendly city right on the River Ill, making it the perfect starting point.

The ride is mostly flat with a mellow ascent of just 172 meters, so nothing too tough. You’ll spend the majority of the journey (almost 60%) on dedicated cycleways, cruising through tranquil countryside and past quiet Alsatian villages. The surface is mostly smooth asphalt, with just a touch of gravel to keep things interesting and only 6% unpaved sections, so a road bike or hybrid will do the job.

Your finish, Brunstatt, sits just on the southern edge of Mulhouse—ideal if you want to keep exploring or catch a train home. All in all, it’s a relaxed, picturesque ride through the heart of Alsace!
