Route offering beautiful views of the plain, through the vineyard. This route is punctuated by crossings in Alsatian villages of character, located at the foot of the Vosges. Departing from Turckheim, a visit to the historic town center is naturally a must. Other remarkable sites make this walk attractive: Ammerschwihr, Kientzheim (rampart walk and thieves' tower, etc.), Sigolsheim and the imperial city of Kaysersberg.

Pleasant route which begins in the center of Colmar and runs along the Colmar canal, the Horbourg Wihr canoe-kayak base to the lock. Then, the loop continues in front of the nautical base before reaching Colmar via the Waldeslust forest, towards the leisure center, not far from the ponds.
