Tips from the Community
A small relief to ride flat along the canal for a while when you come from the hilly area.

Very nice and well-developed cycle path.

The canal is worth a bike trip - although the section between Nancy and Xouaxange does not offer such outstanding landscapes.

An impressive building. It was nice that we were greeted with Edvard Grieg's morning mood. Unfortunately, I can't upload a video - the atmosphere was wonderful. The bike path along the canal is really good. I also took a few pictures for the trail view.

A little further away you can still find the old canal and locks with lock houses. I have added 2 or 3 pictures.

A smaller obstacle is this footbridge on the EV5. You either take the luggage off the bike or you push the bike and luggage together over to the other side.
