Welcome to the Green Route in the heart of Europe

For all European-minded people the Green Route means much more than just a simple touristic route. Founded in 1960 on the initiative of Joseph Rey, a former mayor of Colmar and one of the greatest advocates of the French-German reconciliation, the Green Route was and still is a milestone on the way to a United Europe. The Green Route shows the bonds of a friendship between the people of the Vosges, Alsace and the Black Forest.

Everywhere along the Green Route you may find impressive historico-cultural places. All the year round there are cultural and sporting highlights of international importance.

Discover the Green Route by bike !
