Motorbike trip in Alsace and the Black Forest

Alsace and the Black Forest by motorbike

A European crossroads, this motorbike trip in Alsace invites you on the mythical Alsace Wine Route winding between the Rhine plain and the Ballons des Vosges. It is, by the way, the oldest wine route in France, and is known all over the world. It is lined with magnificent, picturesque, colourful and flowery villages, such as Roquewihr, one of the best known in the region, where you will fall under the spell of its many half-timbered houses and its ramparts, which are still well preserved. You will be able to taste a late harvest Gewurztraminer or a Sylvaner. Immerse yourself in history by visiting the majestic Haut-Koenigsbourg castle, built in the 12th century.Get lost in the cobbled streets of old Strasbourg. But you can't lie, what will really make your head spin will undoubtedly be the Route des Crêtes. At the heart of the imposing Vosges Massif, its route dates back to the First World War, and represented a defence strategy. This road passes through the Grand Ballon, at 1424 m, which is the highest point in the whole department. Also known as the Ballon de Guebwiller, by the name of the nearest town, this summit will give you breathtaking views. You will also pass through the Col de la Schlucht, one of the main passes of the Vosges Massif, overlooking lakes and stubble. Amazing this motorbike trip in Alsace!
