What to expect

You'll start in Orschwiller and follow a flat to gently undulating cycle path northward through the heart of Alsace's wine country. Vineyards flank both sides as you pass through small villages with characteristic medieval buildings. The pace is leisurely—this is sightseeing by bike, not racing. Your guide will point out landmarks and may suggest stops for photos or local wine tastings (not included). The e-bike motor assists on any slight climbs, so you're not fighting terrain. Bring sunscreen; there's little shade on open sections.
