Reservoir on the old canal

Highlight • Other

Nice bike and hiking trail along the old canal. At some locks you can still see the old mechanics. I posted a picture with a text like it used to be. You can collect nice impressions

One of the most beautiful sections of the trip: the disused canal, rendered useless by the boat lift. Every few hundred meters, there's a lock with an idyllic lock-keeper's cottage along a gently sloping bike path.

Old Lock Staircase and Lock Keeper's House

Highlight • Monument

The old canal is now more than ever a real highlight, the many old locks tell a long story from the good old days when not everything was "smart" 😉🚵‍♂️

View of Lutzelbourg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of the picturesque village of Lutzelbourg. Downstream after the bridge there are boat moorings where you can recharge your water and electricity for a small fee. A CEE adapter is required for the electricity, however. But the camper always has one with him anyway. You can relax on the numerous picnic benches next door.

Saint-Louis-Arzviller Inclined Plane

Highlight • Monument

Technical masterpiece worth seeing, actually an inclined elevator for ships.
A classic boat lift can be found in Henrichenburg or in Niederfinow.
Part of the Rhine-Marne Canal.
