The route was not even shown to me on Komoot, but it seems to be the perfect fast bike route between the two places, through beautiful mixed forest and without traffic. We recommend.

On the French-German border, in the middle of the forest, this dirt road with red hues creates a superb contrast with the green of the trees. A soothing spectacle during your bike rides.
