It is probably a former "Chemin de halage" (in German "treidelpfad" or "leinpfad") that runs along the waterway right next to the bed of the canal. In earlier times, such a path was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln" (towing), and this is how the "treidelpfade" got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, which run close to the bank, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers, walkers, runners and cyclists.
