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

Good cycle path along the canal.

This bridge is a real challenge with a touring bike loaded with a lot of luggage and cannot be managed by women without courageous help. What a joke it is that it is "easy to cross"!!!

This is where the Saar Coal Canal ends and meets the Rhine-Marne Canal. You can follow this canal to the left towards Strasbourg or to the right towards Nancy.

The Écluse de Réchicourt-le-Château shaft lock, built between 1960 and 1965 and approximately 3 km from the main town along the Rhine-Marne Canal, replaces a lock staircase with six locks. Depending on the water level in the canal, their fall height is 15.45 to 16.10 meters. This makes it the highest French lock in a barge canal.

When the sun is shining, carrying it with the bikepacking setup is not that easy, but there is a wonderful view from the top all the way to the Black Forest in the east.
