Hanauerland route (North)

For nature lovers and food enthusiasts

• The Hanauerland routes (South and North) connect villages of the Hanauerland. Signs at the village entrance or business and street names still remind of this today.
  
  
• Both Hanauerland routes mostly run off the beaten tourist paths but do not follow main roads.
  
  
• Cyclists are offered wide views over meadows and fields all the way to the Black Forest. Forests and rivers provide variety, and idyllic quarry lakes can also be found along the routes.
  
  
• In the villages, restaurants with Baden cuisine ensure physical well-being, so both routes form a perfect mix of exercise, relaxation in nature, and culinary enjoyment.

  The “Hanauerland” is the rural region around Kehl and runs north along the Rhine. Until the beginning of the 19th century, it was ruled by the Alsatian dynasty Hanau-Lichtenberg. Their largest possession, however, was located in northern Alsace, where the Lichtenberg family originated. Part of this region is still called “Pays de Hanau” (Hanauerland) today. Traditional costumes and dialects are cultural features that can still be found on both sides of the Hanauerland. The connection between the two regions is highlighted every autumn at the HanauerLandMarkt.
