The ride
Roll out of Petersbach and let the route unfold: first through the Vosges du Nord nature reserve, then along the L'Eichel river. Castles stack up as you ride — Lorentzen, Rahling and Mouterhouse — before the Petite Pierre nature reserve and the Herrenstein castle. The Zinsel du Sud river carries you onward, and 97.0 km later you're back where you started.
