The water from the lake helps control the level of the Canal des Vosges in the region. It is possible to swim there from the American beach on the north shore.

Good to drive. Sometimes the side changes are a bit confusingly signposted.

Beautiful cycle path along the canal. Every now and then the path changes sides and the route is sometimes a bit misleading.

The Forteresse de Châtel-sur-Moselle was one of the largest fortresses in Europe. It covered five hectares, had twenty-two towers and 1.4 km of ramparts, three floors with galleries and underground rooms. There is a small museum there that documents all of this. There wasn't really much to see on the site itself, as much of it was cordoned off.
