Écluse Muehlenmatten

The Muehlenmatten lock is a lock located on the Rhône-Rhine canal in northeastern France. The lock features a set of gates that can be opened or closed to control the flow of water, allowing ships to pass through and continue their journey along the canal.

The Rhône-Rhine Canal is a French canal that connects the Saône, a navigable tributary of the Rhône, with the Rhine, the Doubs Valley and its extension in Upper Alsace to Niffer am Rhein, another extension, the Strasbourg through the canalization connects from the Ill. It is intended to connect the seaports of Northern Europe with those of the Mediterranean by establishing a connection between Rotterdam and Marseille via Germany.
