Roadbook
The starting point of the route is at the Pilgrimage Church "Maria Bickesheim" in Durmersheim. From the starting point, you first go along Pilgerstraße to the junction with Grenzstraße, where you turn right.
At the end of Grenzstraße (near the sports facility), you turn right, following the bicycle and footpath signs towards Mörsch. At the end of Heilwald (here pedestrians can go left on the dam path to Mörsch to the riding club or continue along the dam to Neuburgweier), you continue straight ahead.
After the sports fields at the entrance to Mörsch, turn left into Marie-Curie-Straße and at the end of this street turn left into Hertzstraße. At the junction with Kepplerstraße, turn left towards the sheepdog club. Here you turn right and at the next left turn go left. The path leads past the waterworks and the tennis courts of Neuburgweier to Rheinstraße.
On Rheinstraße, head towards the town center where you turn right onto Neuburger Straße. Shortly before the cemetery with its impressive Emmaus Chapel, you reach St. Ursula Church on Rheinstraße via Tullastraße.
Then cycle along Rheinstraße to the landing stage of the Rhine ferry.
Passing left of the Zollhaus restaurant on the Rhine, you come to a gravel forest path leading to the Rhine dike. On it, you ride to the junction to Au am Rhein where you turn left. (Currently, due to dike works, you have to turn left to Au am Rhein before the first pond.) On Waldstraße and Kirchstraße, you come to St. Andreas Church.
From the church, turn left onto Würmersheimer Straße to Kapellenstraße, which you turn left into. After 150 m, turn left into Ahornweg. At the end of this small street, you reach Erlenweg, passing St. Antonius Chapel into the Rottlich Forest (keep right at the fork after the chapel). You stay on the outer Rottlich circular path to the second right turn, where you reach an asphalted field path, and you turn left into it. After about 200 m, turn right onto a non-asphalted field path to K 3722.
Turn left onto the road-accompanying cycle path, passing the Herz-Jesu Church in Würmersheim to the junction with Weißenburger Straße just before Durmersheim.
Via Weißenburger Straße, reach Pilgerstraße, which you turn right into. At the end of Pilgerstraße, you reach the starting point of the route again.
