EuroVelo 5: canals and vineyards from French Moselle to Alsace
The route alternates between converted former railway lines, stretches of historic Roman road and quiet roads through vines. After Alsace’s vineyards, head on to Mulhouse, a town that’s a veritable showcase for Alsatian industry. After that, it’s up to you whether to continue on to Basel, then Rome, or to branch off onto EuroVelo 6, direction the Atlantic! Or then follow the Rhine up to Strasbourg along EuroVelo 15.
