Riding a bike in Erstein means discovering an authentic corner of Alsace in complete freedom. From as little as €10 per day, you can rent a bike in Erstein and discover a region of greenways along the Bruche canal and cycle paths through forests and orchards. You can choose a mountain bike to thread your way along the trails of the Vosges rhénanes, or opt for an electric bike if you prefer to cover more distance effortlessly.

From Erstein, the routes are flat and perfectly signposted, ideal for admiring the surrounding vineyards and half-timbered houses. Cycling north, you'll reach the Rhine cycle route linking France and Germany; head for Rhinau or even Offenburg for a cross-border escapade. In the opposite direction, a pleasant 20 km ride will take you to Strasbourg, where you'll find a succession of historic districts and lively riverbanks.

The climate in Alsace is rather mild: in summer, expect temperatures of around 25°C, perfect for a picnic by the water. In spring and autumn, bring a light jacket and windbreaker; the weather can be changeable, but it's also a time when nature blooms in a thousand hues. Even in the event of light showers, don't panic: the many shelters and aubettes along the trails offer you a temporary roof over your head.

To make the most of your outing, keep these tips in mind: check tire pressure before setting off, carry a well-stocked water bottle, wear a helmet and equip your bike with lights if you're riding at the end of the day. Respect the local road signs and share the road with pedestrians and horse riders on the edge of the forest.

Don't miss nearby villages such as Osthouse and Huttenheim, where the marshy landscapes offer a striking contrast to the wine-growing plains. And if you fancy an adventure further afield, head south towards Sélestat: the route is dotted with medieval castles and farm inns for a gourmet break.
