    You start your route in Silz, at Silzer Lake, on the Klingbach cycle path, which leads you to Klingenmünster. There you switch to the German Wine Route cycle path and ride through Bad Bergzabern to Schweigen-Rechtenbach. In Bad Bergzabern, you can cycle through the historic old town or make a quick visit to the spa park. The German Wine Gate in Schweigen-Rechtenbach lies directly on your way and offers a great view into the neighboring country, which you can head straight through via the wine gate. Upon arriving in Wissembourg, you meet the Lauter Valley cycle path in the town center. The picturesque old town with a French flair, featuring St. Peter and Paul Church and its small cafés, invites you to linger. Along the Lauter, you cycle through several small villages and then switch back to the Klingbach cycle path in Dahn-Reichenbach, which takes you back to your starting point.

    ATTENTION! - Campaign for considerate coexistence in nature

    •  Always behave considerately, friendly, and attentively towards everyone you meet on the way.
    • Pay attention to nature; do not destroy plants and always stay on the paths. Try to avoid excessive noise and leave the forest before dusk.
    • Remember a garbage bag for the way and take your trash home again.
    • Please keep your dog on a leash at all times. Other visitors and animals will thank you.
    • Observe all path closures for your own safety, even on weekends.
    • Only park in designated parking spaces. Leave space for emergency vehicles and agricultural machinery.
    • Give priority to agricultural and forestry traffic please.

    Author’s recommendation

    A walk around Bad Bergzabern's old town and spa park, as well as a visit to the German Wine Gate, provide a welcome change from the hilly ride along the Wine Route. Wissembourg's old town, the St. Peter and Paul Church, and many small cafés also invite you to take a short break.

    Safety information

    Our cycle routes often run on paths shared with others. We therefore ask for always considerate and friendly interaction. Winemakers, farmers, and foresters use the farm roads through fields, forests, and vineyards for their daily work (also on weekends) and always have priority. Due to work activities and/or weather conditions, these paths can also be dirtier at times. Special caution is also advised when cycling on the (mostly quiet and little trafficked) roads in and around Palatinate villages.

    Roadbook

    On the Vis à Vis route, you will be guided into Alsace via several signposted hiking trails. You start your route in Silz, at Silzer Lake, on the Klingbach cycle path, which leads you to Klingenmünster. Upon arrival, you switch to the German Wine Route cycle path, ride through Bad Bergzabern, and continue to Schweigen-Rechtenbach. It is worth taking a short break in both places. In Bad Bergzabern, you can cycle through the historic old town or make a quick visit to the spa park. The German Wine Gate in Schweigen-Rechtenbach lies directly on your path and offers a great view into the neighboring country, which you can head straight through via the wine gate. Upon arriving in Wissembourg, you encounter the Lauter Valley cycle path in the town center. Those interested can discover a lot here as well. The picturesque old town with its French flair, featuring the St. Peter and Paul Church and its small cafés, invites you to linger. Along the Lauter, you cycle through several small villages and then switch back to the Klingbach cycle path in Dahn-Reichenbach, which takes you back to your starting point. By the way, Silzer Lake offers a nice spot to reflect on the route once again.
