Alsace (A Travers Le 'Kochersberg') (R)
2 years ago
Starts near Wolfisheim, FRMORE ROUTES NEAR HERE
The route which links Wolfisheim and Mittelhausbergen runs alongside the fortified ring of the Alsatian metropole. Beyond Pfulgriesheim, begins the Kochersberg, the "grainstore" of Alsace. The large expanses of land covered by crops are punctuated by round hills. Numerous villages are scattered around this region, which is also known as '"tarte flambée" country. They have preserved some handsome rural buildings from the 16th and 19th centuries. The vines appear from Osthoffen-Dahlenheim onwards and stretch over the Mossig hills, on the slopes of Mont Scharrach. Numerous plain castles line the Val de Bruche valley: at Ernolsheim-sur-Bruche, Kolbsheim, Breuschwickersheim... The return route to Wolfisheim follows the banks of the Mossig, then the Bruche Canal built by Vauban to carry the stones necessary for the construction of the citadel of Strasbourg.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
