Discover Baldersheim, Haut-Rhin, Alsace

The tour, which stretches between Baldersheim and Battenheim, winds along both banks of the Quatelbach, a peaceful river in the plain that was probably dug out in the Middle Ages by human hands to irrigate various villages and operate mills. The route, without difficulties, partly follows a pleasant cycle path and can be covered in its entirety by VTC (mountain bike). Departure and arrival are near the town hall of Baldersheim.

The tour passes through the village centre and along the banks of the Quatelbach and Ill rivers in a rural setting. It passes through several local heritage sites marked by explanatory plaques of the "Friends of Old Sausheim".

This trail, which follows EuroVelo 5 and 6, starts at Battenheim and takes you along peaceful rivers and canals at the heart of Mulhouse, with its rich historical and industrial heritage. You can benefit from the various facilities made available to cyclists to add a cultural touch to this circuit. You then continue in the decidedly rural atmosphere through state-owned Harth Forest which will gently take you back to your starting point.

This tour allows you to discover the natural riches of Kingersheim and Wittenheim such as the banks of the Ill and Dollerbaechlein rivers as well as the emblematic public facilities and places of worship that make the personality of these cities of the potassium basin.

From the Franche-Comté to Switzerland, the EuroVélo 6 itinerary gives way to a timeless Alsace boasting thatched houses and stork nest alongside the Canal du Rhône au Rhin (Rhône Canal to the Rhine). Upon arriving in Mulhouse, take the bike path which follows along the Canal du Rhône au Rhin up to Kembs. By riding along the Huningue Canal, you’ll end up arriving at the Trois Pays walkway which leads directly to the German border. The road follows along the banks, then crosses the Rhine to arrive in Switzerland, in the city of Basel.

This tour takes you through urbanised areas from different periods and natural areas very close to dwellings. Bourtzwiller originated in a hamlet around a tile factory (founded by Sébastien Bourtz in 1779), which was part of the commune of Illzach and only became independent in 1928. In 1947 the commune of Bourtzwiller was freely attached to Mulhouse, of which it is currently a district.

The theme of this walk is potash, and it takes you around one of the rare mining sites to have preserved its headframe, the Théodore mine. The route leads through fields, woods and Wittenheim towns, with a stop at the memorial to the 827 victims of mining accidents, as well as the "Romanian monument" and the remains of the former Schoenensteinbach convent.

At the corner of Rue Principale and Rue du Moulin

At no. 19 rue Principale is an old farmhouse with rich and original half-timbering and a covered gallery at the back (Laube in German). The large size of the building is unusual in the Ill plain.

The church was built around 1780 in Baroque style. It houses a wooden statue of Saint Wendelin dating from 1737.

This former 18th century mill, powered by water from the Quatelbach, ceased to operate around 1970.

The Quatelbach is a man-made river which is derived from the Ill at the exit of Mulhouse (at the level of the present-day Nouveau Bassin). It was built around the year 1100 to supply water to the villages and mills of Modenheim, Sausheim, Baldersheim, Battenheim and Adolsheim before joining the Ill again at Ensisheim. There, it was extended in 1699 by the Vauban canal which brought water to the fortifications of Neuf Brisach. The name Quatelbach probably comes from Catherine of Burgundy (Katel in German), wife of the Duke of Austria (Habsburg). It was she who improved the river in 1401.

It supplies the communes of Baldersheim, Battenheim and Ruelisheim.

Site of a military captive balloon in 1939, which allowed the Rhine border to be observed (see explanatory marker 50 m to the right of the footbridge over the Quatelbach).

After walking along the Quatelbach and through a housing estate, you can see the geodesic stele called Gupfel in Alsatian. This obelisk was built in 1804 by Napoleon I to "serve as a map of Helvetia and to determine the size of the Earth". The obelisk, located at the southern end of a 19 km measuring line ending in Oberhergheim, was also used as the zero point for the Alsace-Lorraine hiking route coordinate system for the German land register of 1884.

See explanatory marker near the bridge over the Quatelbach.

It used to be called s'Sardinless because at the end of the 19th century it was possible to taste sardines coming directly from Le Havre (see explanatory marker).

On this large fresco, the cartoonish characters and animals in full movement seem powerful. And yet, on closer introspection, they are cracked, as if made of porcelain. The artist William likes to use this Delft blue (which is associated with porcelain), but above all she wanted to show that despite the cracks in life, one must keep moving forward.
