Canals and State Forests

The charming little marina of Kembs is the ideal starting point for this family ride, which is not particularly difficult. The route is mainly flat and consists of cycle paths. You will ride in complete safety, in the heart of nature, on marked paths along the sunny banks of the waterway. You will also enjoy the shadowy paths of the Hardt state forest, one of the largest peri-urban forests in France. There are many places of interest along the way: a stop at the Maison du Patrimoine in Kembs is a must and will allow you to discover the centuries-old history of this ancient Roman city. Your itinerary will also cross the Niffer reach, the crossroads of all the waterways: Huningue Canal, Grand Canal d'Alsace and Canal du Rhône au Rhine (Rhône-Rhine canal). The passage of the barges through the Niffer and Kembs locks will captivate young and old alike.
