A very easy ride along a quiet, tarmac-surfaced country lane through the vineyards, with a few gentle inclines. There are lovely views of the Alsace grands crus, and you can continue along this route to Riquewihr to explore this beautiful village.
The distance from Ribeauvillé to Riquewihr is 4 km

A pleasant walk through the vineyards. Lovely views of the Alsatian countryside and the villages of Hunawhir and Zellenberg. There are a few sections along the edge of the woods, but the route offers little shade; best done in autumn or spring.

Hello,

Hunawihr is misspelt, both in the text and in the description. Personally, it really grates on me. Could you please correct it?
