Strasbourg on foot: highlights and history →Distances measured from the shop along the Strasbourg cycle network.
Cobbles and canals — ride slowly, it is a pedestrian-heavy area.
VéloRouge estimates: 14 km/h on a classic bike, 19 km/h on an e-bike, flat ground, excluding stops and traffic lights. Distances are rounded and measured by us, not taken from a GPS track.
Type a start and an end anywhere in or around Strasbourg: we work out the real cycling route, the distance, the riding time and turn-by-turn directions.
47.5 km · Moderate
A 47 km loop that threads through Strasbourg's UNESCO core — La Petite France, Grande Île and the Canal de la Bruche — then opens into quiet farmland. Best for first-timers who want the city's highlights and a breath of countryside on one ride.
67.1 km · Moderate
A 67 km loop on towpaths and quiet lanes along the Rhône–Rhine and Marne–Rhine canals — flat, shaded and almost entirely traffic-free. Easy on an e-bike in a full day, and the natural way out towards the vineyards.
38.6 km · Moderate
A 38 km loop to the north of Strasbourg, mixing riverside riding along the Rhine with the cool forest paths of the Robertsau massif. Mostly flat with minimal elevation, it's the best half-day escape for nature lovers.
107 km · Hard
A 107 km ride along the EuroVelo 5 via the Alsace wine route, from Strasbourg to Colmar — curated by the Agence Régionale du Tourisme Grand Est. Mostly paved and suitable for all skill levels, with 580 m of elevation. On a VéloRouge e-bike it becomes a very full day; most riders prefer to split it into two stages.
approx. 40 km · Moderate
Our seasonal ride for harvest time: flat towpath out of Strasbourg along the Canal de la Bruche to Molsheim, then the first slopes of the Route des Vins through Rosheim, Boersch and Ottrott before dropping into Obernai. About 40 km one way, train back. No GPS track for this one — it follows signed canal path and wine-route roads, and the villages are signposted the whole way.
Why nowRide it now: the 2026 harvest started about three weeks earlier than usual, and the later grapes — Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling — are still being picked into early October. Expect pickers in the rows, tractors of grapes on the lanes and villages that smell of must.
Book a bike from €25 and start any of these routes straight from our shop near the station.
