Rivers and canals crisscross the country, the latter in particular being a crucial part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Later, first rail, and later again trucks, took over the task of transporting goods. In the competition between different modes of transport, they were faster and cheaper than barges – and thus more efficient. When building the artificial waterways, however, it had to be taken into account that differences in elevation always had to be overcome, and so locks are often lined up along the canals – at varying intervals, depending on the local situation. Only with their help was shipping possible.

The World War I Bunker Trail in Burnhaupt-le-Bas On the Bunker Trail, you can discover World War I fortifications built by the German army.

The Morschwiller-le-Bas telecommunications and radio relay tower, located at Glockacker, was commissioned in 1980 and stands 71 meters tall (77 meters including the antennas). It's a landmark for hikers and cyclists, visible from several kilometers away.

The campsite is a good option for overnight stays if you're traveling by bike, albeit basic. It's located just a few kilometers from the EuroVelo 6 trail. http://www.camping-lachaumiere.com
