Cycling to Cocon d'Argile

Exploring Alsace by bike on the Alsace Vineyard Cycle Route (EuroVelo 5)? The cottage welcomes you just 3 km from the route, in a quiet spot between vineyards and forest.

Getting here from the EuroVelo 5

The cycle route runs through Bischoffsheim: it follows the village streets, then a dedicated cycle path to Obernai. Leave it in the village centre at rue des Moutons, then take rue du Kilbs and chemin du Kilbs up to no. 37.

Distance: 3 km, about 15 to 20 minutes, on a road shared with cars (no cycle path). The cottage sits on the edge of the forest at 300 m: expect a steady climb of about 110 m from the village. And a lovely downhill ride when you leave!
