From Hagenbach station, you will follow the cycle path and cross the roundabout of the eastern bypass of the town. At the allotment gardens, just after the stream, turn right and follow the green and white signs indicating the cycle path. You will follow the asphalted agricultural access road until you reach the Rhine Cycle Route – EuroVelo15. Still on the Rhine Cycle Route – EuroVelo15, you will cycle towards Neuburg and Lauterbourg (F) and pass in front of the floating restaurant Lautermuschel, which also houses a navigation museum. In the town of Neuburg-am-Rhein, there is also the Rheinaue museum, which clearly documents the local history, the Rhine and its rectification as well as life along the river. You will continue past the Neuburg ferry, which allows you to cross to the other side of the Rhine, at Neuburgweier. You will continue along the Rhine towards France.

After crossing the border, you will pass near Lauterbourg, a charming town known as the “Gateway to France” featuring one of the most beautiful Alsatian nautical bases, the Mouettes Base. You will continue on the Lauter Valley Cycle Route (IC51) for a few kilometers before joining the EuroVelo15 – Rhine Cycle Route. You will cross the National Nature Reserve of the Sauer Delta near Munchhausen. Feel free to go through the door of the Nature House to better appreciate the natural treasures of the area! You will continue on the EuroVelo15 and pass near the Seltz ferry, very popular with cycle tourists.

You will head towards the center of Seltz by taking the Sauer Valley Cycle Route (IC24). You will have the opportunity to visit the Tourist Office and the Krumacker Museum, which traces the Rhine history of the small town. Continue to Schaffhouse-près-Seltz, Wintzenbach, and Neewiller-près-Lauterbourg through rolling landscapes following the RD468. Finally, you will find the Lauter Valley Cycle Route again up to Scheibenhard, where you will cross the border once more.

From the French town of Scheibenhard, you will cross the bridge to reach the German town of Scheibenhardt. From there, follow the thematic cycle paths “Rund um den Bienwald” or “Bienwald-Rheinauen-Tour” up to Berg. At Berg, turn left onto Bruchbergstraße. Toward the end of the street, follow the green and white cycle route signs to the right into “Waldstraße” towards the football field. The cycle path leads you through the Bienwald forest, passes again in front of Neuburg, and takes you back to Hagenbach. In Hagenbach, turn right onto Bahnhofstraße, which takes you back to your starting point (Hagenbach station).
