Bruche Canal

Highlight • River

The Bruche Canal in Ostermattfeld offers an ideal setting for a relaxed and scenic mountain bike ride along its tranquil banks. Originally built in the 17th century, the canal was used to transport sandstone from the Vosges to Strasbourg. You'll pass quaint Alsatian villages, shady, tree-lined paths, and the occasional bridge.

Gazebo in Parc de l'Orangerie

Highlight • Monument

The city's oldest park is the favorite meeting place for lovers, joggers and Sunday strollers. The children love its playgrounds, its vintage train, its animal park and mini petting zoo (free of charge).
The stork, which had been threatened with extinction for some time, was also made at home here. More than 800 stork chicks have seen the light of day in the Orangery Park since 1971. This beautiful bird, emblem of Alsace, can be admired here in all seasons. The lake with its romantic waterfall invites you to enjoy rowing trips.
Special exhibitions and events are organized in the Joséphine Pavilion. The Buerehiesel, a beautiful half-timbered house, houses a gourmet restaurant. The bowling alley and the wonderful terrace complete the range of leisure activities.

All Saints Russian Orthodox Church, Strasbourg

Highlight • Religious Site

As the cycle path makes a 90-degree angle, the Russian Orthodox Church of All Saints stands in an open landscape at the junction of the Marne-Rhine Canal and the Port of Strasbourg. Its bright white color and its golden bulbs sublimate the pretty setting in which it is located.

Highlight • Other

The Parc de la Citadelle (Citadel Park) is a public green space of approximately 11 hectares in the Esplanade district in eastern Strasbourg. It was created in 1964 on the remains of a historic fortress and is now considered the city's popular "green lung", located slightly off the typical tourist paths.
History & Architecture
Vauban Fortress: The park encloses the ruins of a citadel built in 1681 by Vauban on behalf of Louis XIV.
Destruction: During the Siege of Strasbourg in 1870, the complex was largely destroyed by Prussian artillery.
Remains: Today, two bastions, parts of the ramparts, a postern gate, and the water-filled moats are still preserved, giving the park its distinctive star-shaped layout.
Highlights & Activities
The park is particularly attractive for families and sports enthusiasts:
Water playground "Oasis": A summer highlight with water fountains and play areas for children.
Sports & Recreation: There are basketball courts, jogging paths (approx. 2.4 km loop), bike paths, and spacious lawns for picnics.
Nature: Old tree groups and watercourses where you can often observe ducks, swans, and sometimes even turtles.
Events: Occasionally, open-air concerts or cultural festivals (like the former "Interference" festival) take place here.
Practical Information
Location: Rue de Boston, 67000 Strasbourg.
Opening Hours: The park is generally accessible 24 hours a day.
Dogs: There is a designated dog park, and dogs are otherwise allowed on a leash.
Parking: Free parking spaces are available in some street areas.
