ハネンドルフのおすすめツーリングルート

The Citadel of Belfort is a historically complex building, reflecting five centuries of fortifications. It was built after the conquest of the city in 1687, replacing a medieval castle that previously stood on this rocky outcrop.

Beautiful sculpture and coat of arms of Belfort, below the fortress.

These 🚤⛵️🛥 are the welcome change on the EV6

The Port fluvial de Dannemarie is no ordinary marina – it’s an unexpected oasis along the canal, where boats bob gently and herons keep watch. For cyclists, it feels like a little refuge: a place to take a break from the rhythm of your pedals and take on the rhythm of the water. Here you can refill your water bottle, stretch your legs on a bench in the shade or a little further away at the restaurant, or just watch the sun play on the surface of the canal.

This hydraulic engineering masterpiece makes it clear to everyone how important shipping traffic on this route used to be.

In the short distance of 4.5 km between Dannemarie and Valdieu-Lutran alone, the Rhine-Rhone Canal climbs through 15 locks.

Very well maintained track, not like the greenway!

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and this is how the "treidelpfads" got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are often used by hikers and cyclists.
