Discover Muntzenheim, a hidden gem in Alsace's Haut-Rhin

You will find works by both these illustrious personages along this trail starting from Kunheim and cycling along the canal which takes you to Biesheim, with its museum, then onto Neuf-Brisach, commissioned by the Sun King and a masterpiece of Vauban; its unique, octagonal architecture means it is deservedly listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The itinerary takes you on a discovery tour of tranquil villages in the plain and on to Colmar, the birth place of Bartholdi, who built the Statue of Liberty, lighting up the world and standing proud at the entrance to New York harbour. It was a gift from France to the United States. You can then follow the canal as it takes you to the alluvial plains and back to your starting point.

Take a tour of the bunkers on the edge of the forest to the south of the village of Fortschwihr. There is a sign in front of each bunker, with a QR code giving you information about the history of each one.

Starting at the cross of the mill and dotted with educational panels, this trail will take you to the battlefields of the Colmar pocket. From the Moulin cross, named after the former mill belonging to the Berckheim family that stood here before the fighting, to the Blind bridge, you can take advantage of your walk to learn about the flora and fauna that populate the fields and waterways.

Starting behind the Catholic church, follow the adorable coot who will be your guide on this walk. In just a few stops, the Colmar canal, the landscapes of the Ried and the flora and fauna will hold no more secrets for you. So make the most of your family outing along the water.

In the beautiful Orch national forest to the north of Holtzwihr, on the 3.5km botanical trail, you can see the beautiful resurgence of our water table at the place known as ‘Sources de l'Orch’, giving rise to the Orchbach river, which then flows into the Bennwasser and the Ill.

The Colmar canal was inaugurated in 1864. It was built under the pressure of the industrialists who had suff ered a set-back when the original path of the Rhône-Rhine canal was diverted by the Army’s Corps of Engineers to take in the citadel of Neuf-Brisach. Today, it is used for leisure activities and, after crossing the river Ill, ends its journey in the charming river port of Colmar. Along the Colmar Canal, you’ll be spoilt by incredibly quaint and rustic décor! As of Artzenheim, and if your legs will let you, you can take the Rhine Véloroute (EV15) up until Andermatt in Switzerland or until Rotterdam in Nederland!

A 3.5 km trail through the forest of Riedwihr to discover what happened in the region during the liberation following the battles of the Colmar pocket in 1944. Easily accessible for families and children. Various picnic tables along the way for a peaceful discovery.

This is a “nature” route that combines the discovery of sites along the Rhine or the canal with others on the edge of the woods. From Marckolsheim, EuroVelo 15 follows the towpath of the Rhône-Rhine Canal. Until Strasbourg, the European capital, the ride is punctuated by locks and characterful churches, such as those in Neunkirch, Plobsheim, and Eschau.
