.: Luxembourg -> Colmar - 306 km

 

 

Here are the curves, ups and down…


One of the best riding days if the weather helps us a bit....
No motorway whatsoever today is all curves and twisties as we leave Luxembourg and head into France once more.
We leave the Ardennes and enter the Vosges. Lean back and enjoy fantastic sceneries.
We will try to have a quick lunch today as i assure you all we dont want to miss any view of our ride today but also we need some time to wonder around in Colmar and enjoy the streets between houses that were build as early as the 10th/11th century

  ON THE ROAD 

 

The Vosges Massif, 180 km long and 60 wide, today presents smooth and rounded forms, provided by the Quaternary glaciations responsible for the characteristic landscapes of valleys, pine forests and lakes on the Vosges side, contrasting with the sudden sheer drop on the Alsatian side.
Leisure, getting back in shape, spas, culture and heritage, tradition and gastronomy; both in summer and winter, the Vosges department offers a full range of emotions and sensations just waiting to be discovered and shared.

Vosges: a harmonious series of landscapes where there are a thousand shades of green, where water is everywhere in different guises: sometimes crashing down in waterfalls, or epitomizing calmness in lakes.
From Celtic ruins to Roman oppidums, from the raw beauty of a Roman crypt to the beauty and elegance of a Gothic church, from the flamboyant style to the overelaborate baroque, from popular art to contemporary audacity,
all influences and styles are listed for the great pleasure of aficionados.

Although nature is preserved to a greater extent than elsewhere, man has built in Vosges from time immemorial: typical villages, churches and abbeys, castles and fortresses, all of them designed with the passion of architectural masterpieces in order to leave a tangible mark in stone of an era, an identity or collective culture. 

Bilberries, Munster, goat’s cheese, foie gras, smoked dishes, pies, quiches, flower honey and fir honey, brandy (plum), mountain fruit; Vosges will allow you to discover the subtle flavours of wholesome and delicious cooking.

Colmar a region of tradition and a town of art and history, is famous for its gentle place of life, its wines and its gastronomy.
The regional capital of the Alsace vineyards, Colmar was the birthplace of the sculpture Bartholdi who created the Statue of Liberty.
