In fact, the Rhine River marks the natural border between both countries, and by simply crossing a bridge, you are in Kehl<\/strong>, the neighboring German city.<\/p>\n

Due to its strategic location, Strasbourg is an ideal connection point between France, Germany, and Switzerland<\/strong>, making it perfect to include in a route through Central Europe.<\/p>\n
