The Niffer Lock is an impressive lock on the Rhône-Rhine Canal created by the Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier. It allows you to cross the canal and continue on the EuroVelo 6 route between the Atlantic and the Black Sea.

Cycle path through the fields

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The cycle path from Märkt to Efringen-Kirchen is well developed and, thanks to the reasonably straight lines, is also absolutely suitable for racing bikes. If you like it more comfortable, you can also examine the fields and nature all around.
