This lock is precision work. Shortly afterward, it's best to cross to the opposite side of the canal to safely backtrack a bit and view the boat lift from below. This way, you can avoid the road.

Elongated rock castle above the Zorn valley, southwest of Saverne. After a varied history, it has been state property for approx. 150 years. Varied structures from different eras in the inner courtyard. Great view over the Rhine valley and the northern Vosges.
