Gita in bici di un giorno da Colmar a Friburgo in Brisgovia

Ready for a cross-border cycling adventure? This route takes you from the charming town of Colmar in France to the vibrant city of Freiburg im Breisgau in Germany—an epic jaunt of a little over 83 km. Colmar is famous for its fairy-tale old town, half-timbered houses, and canals, so it's worth arriving a bit early to take in the scenery before you hit the road.

The ride is mostly flat with gentle climbs (just about 270 m of ascent in total), which makes it ideal for recreational cyclists. You’ll cruise on a mix of smooth asphalt and well-maintained gravel cycleways, with quiet roads and country tracks leading you through vineyards, sleepy Alsatian villages, and the lush scenery of the Upper Rhine plain.

Crossing into Germany, you’ll notice the change in landscape as you approach Freiburg, renowned for its eco-friendly vibe, bustling university scene, and lively markets. Grab a slice of Black Forest cake to celebrate your arrival!

All in all, this route offers a fantastic blend of French and German sights—mostly on peaceful, bike-friendly paths. Don’t forget your camera!
