Cycling the Alsace Wine Route by E-Bike
Trip highlights:
- Old town of Colmar
- Wine villages of the Alsace Wine Route

Half-timbered villages, winegrowers' buffets and flammekueche
Between vineyards, wine taverns and brightly coloured half-timbered houses, you cycle from Strasbourg to Colmar. Your base hotel in Obernai is the starting point for stages with stops at a winegrower's estate and a gingerbread house. The e-bike takes the effort out of the climbs so you can enjoy the scenery.

You ride mostly on quiet minor roads and asphalted farm tracks through flat and hilly terrain with a few larger climbs; short stretches on gravel paths are easily rideable.
