The approximately 20 km long Canal de la Bruche begins north of Avolsheim, not far from the old episcopal town of Molsheim. It was built by Vauban in 1682 in order to be able to transport sandstone by ship for the construction of the fortress in Strasbourg. In 1782, up to 950 ships sailed on the canal, which was used until 1938.

Today a beautiful cycle path leads along the "Canal de la Bruche" from Strasbourg to the former train station in Soultz-les-Bains. The cycle path is asphalted throughout and winds along the course of the water past the eleven former locks with the mostly beautifully renovated lock houses.

Canal de la Bruche cycle path

A very nice cycle path along a picturesque canal full of life. You have to take the time to stop to enjoy the animals encountered on the way, the many benches or rest areas along the track, the very beautiful villages crossed. It is ideal for a family bike ride.
