Tips from the Community
This section of the cycle path that crosses the Bruche Valley is one of the most beautiful. The landscape is completely unobstructed, allowing you to admire the first Vosges mountains. All this while cycling on a very high-quality surface.

Dachstein lies off the main roads in Alsace and is therefore less developed for tourism. The village nevertheless boasts some noteworthy buildings, such as: the medieval city gate, the Porte de la Bruche, the Church of St. Martin (Église Saint-Martin), which still retains Gothic elements, a nave, and a Baroque altar; the Renaissance castle (extended in the 19th century in the Neo-Renaissance style) of the de Turckheim family, the Château de Turckheim, or the Vieux Château. It was formerly a summer residence for some of the bishops of Strasbourg; the old washhouse, and the Château Hervé Bourcart, or "La Magnanerie." It is located closer to the village center and was built in 1750 as a private villa that housed the royal silkworm breeding school. It has been owned by the Hervé family since 1838. In the 1990s, the castle and its idyllic surroundings served as the setting for the film saga "The Alsatians." Magnan is an Occitan word meaning mulberry. The Magnanerie is the headquarters of a silkworm farm. The streets of Dachstein are lined with several traditional half-timbered houses, some with carved wooden galleries.

A very idyllic little town on the edge of the Vosges Mountains. Lovely alleyways and plenty of cafés and restaurants invite you to take a short break.

A relaxing cruise along the Rhine-Rhône Canal. Super shady under the numerous trees, but also bumpy in places due to roots that lift the surface.
