Whether the body of water is truly a reservoir or more like an Alsatian carp pond, I cannot and will not judge – the location at the very back of the Lützeltal valley and the beautiful nature all around is wonderful nonetheless.

Right on the border between France and Switzerland, near Pfetterhouse, lies one of the many watersheds. It's impressive to consider that a few meters here determine whether the water flows south toward the Mediterranean or into the North Sea. Apart from an informative sign, all that remains is a sports field and the abandoned Swiss border post.

Every lock along the route provides for an unusual background and a good memory of your bike trip. A lot of these locks have a bridge going over them, take the time to branch off the bridge and discover some of the nice villages along the canal.

The French and European National Cycleway is a great cycleway winding along side of the Rhine Rhone Canal with very little climbing, for those who do not like to climb. However those who are climbing shy, must be aware of the wind in this area. A lot of the locks still have the former lock man’s house which adds a bit of charm to every lock. One is never alone on this route as there is a constant passing of bicycles, both leisure and racing bikes.

The Rhine Rhone Cycleway is part of the National French and European Cycleway. This stretch of the cycleway has excellent smooth asphalted pavement. There are some nice restaurants and cafés along the way which are sometimes hidden but can easily be found on the map.

No idea why I didn't write anything about this...🤔😅

This region has hundreds of small fishponds, once created by monks in the Middle Ages. Today they form a patchwork of water, reeds and forest – a paradise for birds, cyclists and those seeking peace and quiet. You cycle along quiet banks, see herons take flight and enjoy local specialities such as fried carp along the way.

Neo-Gothic landmark on the pilgrimage route. This neo-Gothic church in Courtavon was consecrated in 1865 and is notable for its three richly decorated portals with stepped vaults, crowned with ciliates – a typical Gothic element. The church is dedicated to James the Greater, patron saint of pilgrims, and Christopher, protector of travellers. This dual patronage reflects the village’s location on a historic branch of the Way of St. James towards Santiago de Compostela.
