The Saar is getting "younger". On the left hand side the river and on the right hand the canal.

cycling along the Saar-Coal Canal with a view of the Saar. Nice here!

Beautiful valley where the Saar River and the canal flow right next to each other.

The Saar coal mine canal owes its name to its origins. It was created to transport coal from the Saarbrücken deposit. It joins the Marne-Rhine canal at Gondrexange. These two canals are now bordered by the EuroVelo 5 cycle path.

Nice branch from the Saar Canal over the fields and into the forest

The Casemate de Wittring is a component of the Maginot Line fortifications in northeastern France. It is located in the Fortified Sector of the Sarre section of the line and was associated with Ouvrage Haut-Poirier, a petit ouvrage of the main Line. Wittring has been restored and is operated as a museum. The casemate was armed with a machine gun/anti-tank gun embrasure (JM/AC47), one twin machine gun embrasure, two mixed-arms cloches (AM) and two automatic rifle (GFM-B) cloches.[1] Wittring controlled access to dikes and floodgates in the area that were intended to inundate portions of the Sarre valley to block an invasion from Germany.The commander of the casemate in 1940 was Adjutant-Chef Hillaire, in charge of an element of the 133rd Fortress Infantry Regiment (RIF).[2] The Casernement d'Achen provided peacetime above-ground barracks and support services to Wittring and other positions in the area Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casemate_de_Wittring

The Saar Canal (formerly: Saar-Kohlen-Kanal, French Canal des Houillères de la Sarre) is a shipping canal that runs in the French region of Grand Est. As is generally the case with the French canal network, the Saar Canal was also a prerequisite for a much-frequented cycle path. The towpath next to the canal has been expanded into a mostly well-paved cycle path in recent years with funds from the European Union, the regional council and the municipalities.

You are on the towpath exactly between the Saar-Kohle Canal and the much deeper-flowing Saar. An interesting level comparison.
