You'll cross the Alsatian potassic basin and then reach Mulhouse and its rich industrial heritage, making it Europe's capital of technical museums. You'll reach the Rhine at Niffer along the peaceful Rhône Rhine canal cycle route (southern branch). Finally, you'll take the legendary EuroVelo15 - Rhine cycle route for a leisurely ride back to the starting point, discovering the typical landscapes of the Alsatian Ried with several beautiful stops in Ottmarsheim, Neuf-Brisach (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Marckolsheim and Erstein.
