In the proverbial "good old days," this (former) windmill, prominently positioned on the hill and clearly visible from afar, must have made a profound impression on the viewer. However, this changed long ago: Only the ruined remains of the once proudly towering tower with its once sweeping wings remain as a sad testament to that bygone era. Today's visitors probably enjoy less the sight of the ruins than—at least in good weather—the beautiful view of the wide plains that unfold before them.

Only the two wooden beams form a cross in its simplest form. And yet, this small, sacred monument—like all crosses encountered by bikers along the way—is an essential Christian symbol. It stands for the memory of his crucifixion, but at the same time also for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The important founder of the order, Bernard of Clairvaux, said: + "With us on earth, there is His memory, but in the kingdom of heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, traveling toward the Fatherland."

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.

It is presumably a former "chemin de halage" (in German "treidelpfad" or "leinpfad"), which runs alongside the canal's bed. In earlier times, such a path was an essential part of the transport infrastructure. Before ships could be powered by motors, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This was called "treideln" (pulling), and this is how the towpaths got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, which run close to the bank, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers, walkers, joggers, and cyclists.

This historic canal lock is located on the Loire. The facility was formerly used to lock barges from the Loire Lateral Canal through the Loire to the Canal de Briare and vice versa. A towpath was built on a river island in the Loire to allow towing from the Loire and across to the other side of the river. Since this type of Loire crossing depended on the water level of the Loire and its meandering course, the new Briare Canal Bridge was later built. The historic river locks at Mantelot and Combles thus became obsolete.
