Very nice cycle path right next to the old railway line to Sentheim. At weekends, the route from Burnhaupt to Sentheim is also used by old steam locomotives.

A treat from the Thann Valley. Beautiful asphalt, a clear view of the Grand Balloon 🎈 in the first bends and accessible percentages. Perfect !
