Andlau was founded in 880 by Empress Richardis. She had been banished by her husband, Emperor Charles III, and was later canonized. Her tomb in Andlau became a place of pilgrimage. According to legend, a wild bear showed her the perfect spot (Wikipedia). Wonderful Crus are produced from the vineyards here.

A 50-km paved bike path, straight along the canal. And without any traffic of any kind. Cycling along it was simply fantastic ❗️❗️❗️
