Alsace Wine Route - From Strasbourg to Colmar
Follow the romantic 'Route des Vins' between the beautiful cities of Strasbourg and Colmar
Relaxed biking crossing the hilly Alsatian wine country by quiet country roads. Taste the delicious, local Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. Enjoy the beautiful panoramas of the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest. Stop in a charming village full of half-timbered houses, nice shops and terraces. Clamped between the Vosges and the Rhine Valley lie the Alsace vineyards, home of the Riesling, Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer grapes, which thrive in the sunny climate sheltered by the Vosges. Because Alsace is France's No. 1 bicycle region, with many expanded Véloroutes, the bicycle is the ideal means of transportation in this beautiful wine region.
You begin your holiday in Strasbourg, a beautiful city where there is much to see and experience.
