This former railway line is now a car-free cycle path that takes you from Dannemarie to Pfetterhouse, past ponds, forests and typical villages of the Sundgau. The route is slightly undulating and well paved. You cycle through one of the most rural parts of Alsace, with plenty of chance to spot herons, dragonflies and carp.

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and this is how the "treidelpfads" got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are often used by hikers and cyclists.
