The French and European National Cycleway is a great cycleway winding along side of the Rhine Rhone Canal with very little climbing, for those who do not like to climb. However those who are climbing shy, must be aware of the wind in this area. A lot of the locks still have the former lock man’s house which adds a bit of charm to every lock. One is never alone on this route as there is a constant passing of bicycles, both leisure and racing bikes.

The Écluse d’Eglingen is a small, active lock on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, near the village of Eglingen in the Sundgau region. This spot is popular with cyclists due to its quiet location along the 'EuroVelo 6' and regional cycle routes. The lock is surrounded by greenery and offers a bench and shade, but no facilities.

Camping Les Cigognes in Cernay is an ideal stopover for long-distance cyclists travelling through Alsace. Located close to the centre, the campsite offers quiet, shady pitches, a heated swimming pool to relax your legs, and basic facilities such as a shop and bread service. With its flat access, nearby supermarkets and restaurants, it is a practical and pleasant place to recharge your batteries for the next stage."

This bike path is very, very nice, and there's even a bench. The bike path is also under trees.

I have rarely seen drawbridges like this before and after our canal trip to Brittany I can only confirm this once again.
