Eco-friendly Alsace!

These routes give visitors the opportunity of preparing their holidays and outings in Alsace without using a car.
The programme has led to a trilingual document (English, French and German) published in 20,000 copies, presenting a selection of 44 lines (14 by rail and 30 by coach) going to sites famous for their natural beauty, heritage or leisure activities.

A map presenting:
- access to the region by train (mainline national and international rail links) and the regional airports (with shuttle services) and other airports nearby,
- a box on www.vialsace.eu where you will find all details on the bus – car – tram – train routes in the region (itineraries– timetable– rates– network),
- and the list of bike hirers and other innovative forms of transport in Alsace,
- a plan of the lines highlighting stops at places offering tourist attractions (accommodation, sight-seeing, tourist offices, locations on cycling or hiking routes, grading in the national floral town competition from 3-flower rating etc). The most important sites are illustrated with snapshots photos to visualise the destination more easily.

On the back of the map, there is an introductory description of each of the lines, including information on transport times and the days on which the services run each week. A photo frieze per line sums up the key tourist attractions and quotes the websites specific to the destinations.

Each of the 44 lines selected is linked to a downloadable PDF which gives details on the route (cf. draft model enclosed for Sélestat - Rust). These trilingual logbooks (currently being drafted) will gradually be put online on the websites for tourism in Alsace: www.tourisme67.com, http://www.tourisme68.com , www.tourisme-alsace.com
