  • Sounds ace, I've been wanting to go to this region since seeing some good photos at bespoked last year. What kind of bike were you on, and do you have any photos / routes maps?

    edit - had a look at the bikepacking.com post. Looks great, planning next year now.

  • I was on a Trek 920, gravel touring bike so gearing pretty well suited for going uphill. Unfortunately mobile died so no photos to share at this stage (or at least until i can find a way to get them off).

    I hope to plot the route i took digitally in time but at present all i've got are some rather crinkled free maps from the local tourist offices with some vague markers. If you're looking to travel in the region, free maps I'd recommend include the following:

    l'Alsace Centrale: vous facilite le velo... (Alsace a Velo/Alsace Central)
    Cartes des Itineraires Cyclables: Centre/Sud (Conseil General Bas-Rhin)
    La Haute-Alsace a Velo (Haute-Alsace Tourisme)
    Vallee de Kayserberg (Comite Regional du Tourisme/Agence de Developpement Touristique du Bas-Rhin)

    Good collection of different maps here although there's nothing quite like having a paper version in hand

    The tourism authority seem more than happy to send through materials so you probably be in look if you emailed a request. As before, happy to answer any questions
