Canal du Rhône au Rhin

Highlight • Other

The Rhône-Rhine Canal is a waterway whose first traces of construction date back to the 18th century. This section of the canal between Mulhouse and Montbéliard, today too narrow for freight, is used for pleasure boats. Every month, 150 boats use the canal.

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

Highlight • Cycleway

The project to build a new large canal, launched in 1961 and declared a public utility in 1978, gives rise to significant opposition in the town and surrounding areas, under the impetus of environmental movements and conservationists. . The Valdieu site was particularly concerned because its geographical location required the construction of a new lock downstream of the village. In 1997, this project was definitively abandoned by decision of the Minister of the Environment and Spatial Planning.
The village now lives to the rhythm of boating and sports and leisure activities developed along the canal, including the bike path on the old towpath. This track is an integral part of the EuroVelo 6 cycle route linking Saint-Nazaire to Constanţa. It can reach many other cycling routes in Alsace, Franche-Comté, Switzerland and Germany. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdieu-Lutran#Histoire
