An idyllic bike path through the forest on good asphalt. I was there in the dark after 8 pm, it was a bit mystical :-)

It's always worth heading over to France and exploring new routes. :) There are some very good bike paths there. I occasionally cycle to the neighboring country. :)

This is where the Sauer River, coming from the Vosges Mountains, flows into the Rhine. The estuary delta is a large floodplain with a wide variety of amphibians and birds – protected since 1997.
