길드와일러 최고의 사이클링 경로

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.

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.

Burnhaupt-le-Haut, is a bourg rural (a rural centre with urban influences) in the Doller valley, on the edge of the Vosges. In 1917, it was almost completely destroyed during WWI. The Saint-Boniface church, originally from the 18th century, was rebuilt after WWII in a striking art deco style. Inside you will find, among other things, an organ from 1930 and Byzantine-inspired wood carvings.
