May 2, 2025,Am Rhone- Rhein- Kanal nach Süden...

A very beautiful tour along the canal, with meadows yellow with buttercups on the left and the water of the canal on the right. Numerous locks, the most beautiful being the drawbridge in Zillisheim.

Houseboats need a lot of patience here, as the lock keeper always drives from lock to lock, and there are sometimes traffic jams...
