Very nice way along the canal. Mostly graveled. When it's dry, it's great to ride the road bike.

Straw Chimpanzee Sculpture at Neuf-Brisach Fortifications

Highlight • Structure

The fortifications of Neuf-Brisach are definitely worth a detour, even if the animal sculptures, made from perishable natural materials, can no longer be found there.

If you have a UNESCO World Heritage Site in your neighborhood, you have to go there. The entire city is a perfectly symmetrical fortress. After driving around the outside, I couldn't resist taking the Unnenring as well – because of the GPS image 🫣. The route there along the Ill and back along the canal were also very beautiful.
