Souffelweyersheim brings together cycling and walking routes, a marina and several distinct architectural periods. If you are looking for a hotel in the town, you can plan your stay around whether walking, cycling routes, a market visit, or architectural and religious history is your main interest. Specific information about routes, times and visiting options can help you plan what matters most to you.

Walking, cycling and the harbour

The Vitaboucle No. 15 in Souffelweyersheim is 7.4 kilometres long and has a moderate difficulty level. The metropolitan area currently lists it as part of its Vitaboucle network. Its length and difficulty level provide a practical basis for planning a walk.

A cycle path and several walking routes are close to the harbour on Rue du Canal. The facilities there are suitable for a break or a picnic. As these facilities may change, check what is available on site in advance if needed.

There is also a cycle path accessible from Souffelweyersheim that runs along the Canal de la Marne au Rhin. Routes may change, so check the route before planning a ride. The Piste des Forts can be reached from Rue du Ried. Access arrangements may also change, so it is advisable to check before setting off.

Souffelweyersheim’s marina serves as a year-round mooring point just outside Strasbourg. Operating conditions may change. If you are planning a stop by boat, confirm the current conditions in advance.

Architectural history and religious sites

Several historical periods come together at Église Saint-Georges. The church dates from 1818 and was rebuilt after the village fire of 1815. The nave was extended in 1935. At the same time, the church preserves its original clock surround from 1781—an older detail in a building whose history has also been shaped by reconstruction and later alterations.

Practically all the half-timbered houses in Souffelweyersheim date from between 1816 and 1819, the years following the village fire. A later building period is represented by Villa Joséphine, built in 1890, with a tower and spire. Along Rue du Canal, there are also concrete workers’ houses, which contrast with the village’s rural building tradition. Together, these buildings offer a range of architectural points of interest, from half-timbering to a villa and workers’ houses.

The Bildstöckel is a wayside shrine with a niche, dating from 1755. Ferme Lorentz is not open to visitors, but can be viewed from the road. Check the local situation before planning a visit.

Wat Simoungkhoune is a Lao Theravada Buddhist temple founded in 1991. It also serves as a retreat and prayer centre, as well as a place for meditation. Interested visitors are welcome; confirm the current visiting arrangements before travelling there.

Thursday weekly market

The weekly market takes place on Thursdays from 8 am to 12 noon at Place du Général de Gaulle. This makes it easy to plan a morning market visit. As the hours may change, check the current schedule before planning your visit around it.
