Interesting combination with the canal bridge over the Largue, then a lock just before Dannemarie, nice cycle path EV6 anyway.

Montbéliard–Haute-Saône Canal beside the Allan

Highlight • River

All these canals are excellent ways to bike on the trails, or rather busy roads, this is another one that could help make this ride into a loop.
The Haute-Saône Canal, still called the Montbéliard Canal in the Haute-Saône, is a waterway that begins in the north of the Doubs department, crosses the south-western part of the Territoire de Belfort and an unfinished section, is located in the eastern part of Haute-Saone. It is after the loss of Alsace in 1871 that the government of the Third Republic decided in 1878 the construction of canals in the East of France to allow the circulation of the goods, and in particular the Lorraine steel products towards Franche -Comté, between the region of Nancy and those of Burgundy and Franche-Comté. One of the first projects concerned the construction of the Eastern Canal, which began around 1875 and was completed in 1887, and that of the Haute-Saône Canal, which was to link the French part of the Rhone-Rhine Canal to the Eastern Canal. . The goal was also to serve the coal mines of Ronchamp and to evacuate the coal produced in its wells. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_de_la_Haute-Sa%C3%B4ne

May 20, 2024,Tag 3: de Mulhouse à Étupe sur la EV6

Day 3
and the day started well today - sun and the prospect of sun all day long.
Finding a boulangerie was more difficult on a Whit Monday.
So we first passed the SunPub in Illfurth, but at 9:40 a.m. they were cleaning up. So we continued on and 30 minutes later we stopped at A l'Arbre Vert.
The garden …

Still shopping on the way in Montreux - Château. And eat something right away 😋.
Already around 6.30 p.m. I …

September 17, 2022,Von Montbéliard nach Mülhausen

Today was a leisurely tour through beautiful countryside. The Vosges could be seen from afar. It went past countless locks and with each barrage a little more downhill. That was really fun. It has cooled down a lot, so I had to dress really warm today. It's going to be autumn. I would not have thought that Mulhouse (Mulhouse) has …

June 5, 2022,le tour 22-06 Montbéliard

Today the weather forecast was very unfavorable, thunderstorms and strong storm. That's why we left in good time and hurried. We only got caught in the rain for a moment. Despite Whit Sunday, there were hardly any cyclists on the road. We put a lot of rubber along the canal so that we could reach our destination around noon. It …
