Freiburg round trip in the boarder triangle

Look forward to Freiburg, Münster, Bächle, delicacies and good wine. Go on a discovery tour of this sunny international university city and enjoy the badisch sympathetic lifestyle.

Today the beautiful town of Breisach is waiting for you! Even from far away you can see on top of the Münsterberg the St. Stephan cathedral. Idyllic it overhangs the houses of the old town. But the beautiful cycling day has much more to offer. In Neuf-Brisach you can marvel at the imposing octagonal baroque fortress, which was built in 1700 by Vauban, the fortress builder of Louis XIV. The star-shaped almost completely preserved fortress has such a dimension that the whole town Neuf-Brisach fits inside. Neuf-Brisach is as a whole a museum, but full of pulsating life. Wonderful ending the day in the beautiful town of Colmar, one of the most beautiful towns on the French Wine Road. It has a historic town-scape which proudly presents architecture from 6 centuries. Thanks to good restoration and loving care, it is a pleasure to stroll through the cobblestone streets.

Today your route is  going into the wine region! Behind Colmar you are slowly but surely leaving the flat Rhine valley and charming vineyards will be your companions. Without steep inclines you cycle through dreamy wine villages. Alsatian half-timbered medieval town centers in this glorious wine country invite for taking pictures and breaks. In Guebwiller you will marvel at the pretty sandstone church. In the evening you should let yourself be pampered with the domestic good cuisine.

Today you discover a very special open-air museum. The Écomusée d'Alsace is set up like a real village from the early 20th century: roads, gardens, a river and, of course numerous buildings: Houses, a school, a chapel, a railway station, mills, craft workshops ... Knock on the doors of the houses and embark on a journey into the past. Afterward you can look forward to the beautiful Mulhouse. Marvel at the Old Town Hall from the 16th century, at the St. Stephen's Cathedral and visit the automobile museum with about 500 exceptional automobiles.

Today, you will enjoy a leisurely ride along the beautiful cycle path that runs alongside the Rhine-Rhône Canal and along Eurovélo Route 6 to Illfurth with its unusual church, which resembles a pyramid. Then immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the Sundgau. This picturesque region in the far south of Alsace enchants visitors with its idyllic half-timbered farmhouses, numerous ponds, and gently shimmering landscapes. The destination of your stage is the greater Basel area in the border triangle, famous for its relaxed lifestyle and cosmopolitan flair. Visit Basel Cathedral, marvel at the historic town hall, and stroll through the winding, romantic alleys of the well-preserved medieval old town.

You leave the greater Basel area heading north, always parallel to the Rhine. The Rhine is ideal for cycling, as the bike almost rolls by itself. The cycle path leads idyllically through a cultural landscape that is thousands of years old and a beautiful recreational area to the old wine and mill town of Müllheim. In Müllheim, you can look forward to exciting insights at the Markgräfler Museum and the impressive St. Martin's Church with its 14th-century frescoes. From here, it is only a short detour to Badenweiler, where the castle and the remains of the Roman baths invite you to visit.

This morning Heitersheim is awaiting you with its Malter Castle and the interesting Roman museum. Stroll through the city and walk through the romantic castle courtyard and through the rose covered corridors. You can rest under the old court lime tree, or in the castle park and enjoy the magnificent views of the mountains of the southern Black Forest. Your stage leads then to the Breisgau and through Bad Krozingen, known for its rich carbonated mineral-thermal springs, back to the beautiful city of Freiburg.

After breakfast your varied cycling tour ends in Freiburg.
