Saverne / Strasbourg
Leaving Saverne, the City of Roses and its proud Château des Rohan, EuroVelo 5 takes the Marne-Rhine Canal cycle route, which winds its way along the Zorn valley to the gates of Strasbourg. Along the way, you'll enjoy the open landscapes of the Plaine d'Alsace, and a brewery stopover in Hochfelden is a must at the Villa Météor. As France's leading cycling city, Strasbourg is an essential stopover on your journey. Take the time to stroll through its historic center and the Petite France district, visit its astonishing chiseled cathedral and, of course, (re)discover Alsace's famous gastronomy!
The Route
Starting from Saverne's pleasant marina, the cycle route runs alongside the canal and is fully developed as a greenway all the way to Strasbourg. Ideal for families. Follow the EuroVelo 5 signs.
