MTB route no. 29: In the footsteps of Jean-Jacques Henner

00:40

10.9km

40m

Mountain biking

Exclusively rural (apart from a few short segments), these two circuits — 29 and 30 — are very accessible. The first starts from Jean-Jacques Henner's native village, while the second starts at the level of the cycle path at Eglingen height.

Both are dotted with many curiosities such as the Eglingen pendulum well, the old Balschwiller washhouse or the Rhône-Rhine canal. Combining the two circuits makes it possible to complete a loop of 16.5 kilometers for 80 meters of elevation.

These are very rolling routes that will allow you to soak up the spirit of the place.

Bernwiller

Highlight • Other

We recognize the Saint-Jean church by the beauty of its bell tower which we can see from afar, when we approach in the middle of the fields. A stop is essential to admire the architecture of this building.

Ammertzwiller

Highlight • Settlement

Ammertzwiller is a quiet Alsatian village that is surprisingly convenient for cyclists on the road. There are a few mini markets, restaurants and even a chemist – ideal for stocking up on provisions or taking a break. The village is set in rolling countryside and offers lovely picnic spots overlooking the fields. Information boards in the village tell the story of the local history during the First World War, making this stop not only practical but also meaningful."

Balschwiller Washhouse

Highlight • Monument

This picturesque washhouse was built in the 19th century. It replaced an old washhouse from 1680 which housed 20 washerwomen. A real journey through time!
