As this trail crosses the Strasbourg – Molsheim – St Dié and Strasbourg – Sélestat – Colmar railway lines, it can be done stage by stage and you can easily return to your starting point.

A real sporting challenge, this route is aimed at experienced cyclists. Why not do it over two days? Take a break to explore the cultural and heritage attractions of Delle, Porrentruy, Boncourt and Brebotte. Combining greenways (Eurovélo6, francovélosuisse, voie verte de la Largue in Alsace) and steep country roads, this loop is the most difficult. We like: the Maison de la Nature in Altenach, the stork park in Seppois and the Bison Park in Boncourt*.

Along the Largue cycle track, the Altenach Maison de la Nature and the Hindlingen stork sanctuary give you the chance to stop off for a little while.

The Rhône-Rhine Canal carves a furrow through Alsace from its entry point at Valdieu, at 350 m in altitude to Brunstatt at 250 m in altitude. As you cycle along its banks from lock to lock, between Wolfersdorf and Illfurth, you can easily imagine the pace of life of the canal boatmen of yore.

Built between 1868 and 1870 under the impetus of Father Adam, who was both architect and master builder, the church of Lauw stands out as an iconic landmark of the village. Its Franche-Comté-style roof, with its geometric patterns and bright colours, is a strong element of local identity, recognisable among all others in the valley. Transferred to the municipality in 1987 by the parish council, the church, along with all its parish property, became part of the municipal heritage. Over time, the building suffered damage during the two world wars. Carefully restored, it has been returned to its former glory thanks to the successive interventions of the painters Greth and then Talenti, who have brought it back to life while respecting its spiritual character. In 2002, a significant event further strengthened the link between the parish and the municipality: two new bells were jointly acquired. This was a first, as until then the bells had come from another parish, recovered after the initial construction of the building.

With its pedestrianized city center, Masevaux has become a very welcoming town. Known as a flower-filled town awarded 4 flowers, it won the national grand prize in 2000 and the Golden Flower (Fleur d’Or) in 2015. It can be discovered in all seasons, especially through its historical and tourist circuit during the summer. Numerous events take place throughout the year, including the Pumpkin Festival, the Magical Christmas Walk, flea markets, and street fairs.

Remains of the old Abbey of Masevaux, artisanal and industrial tools. Opening of the museum in summer with a themed exhibition, the Museum Night and the Heritage Days.

The Church of Saint George in Sentheim was built in 1779, based on plans by architect Gaspard Mertz, who was working for Masevaux Abbey at the time. It replaced the village's old church, becoming a new place of worship at the heart of the community. The interior of the church still has remarkable liturgical furniture, made entirely of wood: the choir altars, side altars, confessionals and pulpit bear witness to the craftsmanship of the time. The bell tower was added during the 19th century. The organ, built between 1787 and 1788 by the organ builder Rabigny, is pneumatic. It has undergone several major transformations: first by Callinet in 1841, then by Martin Rinckenbach, who modernised it while respecting its original character. Behind the high altar, an imposing oil painting depicts Saint George slaying the dragon, a symbol of faith and the victory of good over evil. Opposite the church, a small square features a Lourdes grotto with a fountain, as well as a war memorial, a place of remembrance and contemplation for the local residents.

The church was built in 1786, when the first walls were constructed, carks appeared on them, stopping work for many years.It was only in 1837 that wok started again with the architect Kuen, finishing in 1842. In 1966 a great fire entirely destroyed the church. It took fice years to rebuild it again , in the original noeclassical design. Before the great fire the church housed the famous organs built by the Callinet brothers.The largest were as large as the Nave. The largest that the Callinet's had ever (19m). A new organ was built in 1975 by Akfred Kern from Strasbourg, completed with a Schwenkedel heart organ (1972). Thanks to both of these instruments, the International Organ festival has taken place in Masevaux since 1977, contributing to Masevaux's renown.

From the top of the rocky promontory of Eichstein, the Virgin of Alsace watches over Niederbruck and the Doller Valley. Sculpted by Antoine Bourdelle in 1923, she is made of grey Chauvigny limestone. Before her inauguration on October 7, 1923, the sculpture was exhibited at the Autumn Salon in Paris. Her story: At the beginning of World War I, the village mayor and owner of the copperworks, Joseph Vogt (mayor of Niederbruck from 1891 to 1919), and his wife promised to erect a statue on the Eichstein rock if the factory and the valley were spared. Their wish was granted. After Joseph Vogt's death, his son Léon fulfilled the promise. The plaque on the statue’s pedestal bears the inscription: "In gratitude for the divine protection over the Masevaux valley and the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France — the spouses Joseph Vogt 1914–1918." Access to the Virgin is only on foot via a moderate hiking trail. The path begins at the edge of the bike trail, where it enters the forest. Follow the blue circle markers.
