Tips from the Community
The Canal de la Bruche is a canal in eastern France that originally connected Soultz-les-Bains near Molsheim with the city of Strasbourg. It was built in 1682 by the famous military engineer Vauban, primarily to transport sandstone from the Soultz quarries for the construction of Strasbourg's fortifications.

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.

From here, you have a good view of the Georges Frankhauser Passage. You have to push your bike through the passage.

www.ravitodescyclos.com A pleasant place to sit and have a small and refreshing drink. In the weekend there are music performances. Ideal for an evening and then walk further to Dompeter and pitch the tent.
