From the cycle path, you can see the old Saar barges. These were built between the two world wars. They were previously pulled by hand on the canals and rivers; they were said to be towed (hence the name towpaths), now rehabilitated as cycle paths.

Find the term "ship cemetery" not appropriate here at the shipyard in Rilchingen Hanweiler. Here these former canal ships are repaired, converted or otherwise converted for further use. saar-nostalgie.de/Treidelschifffahrt.htm
