Réchicourt-le-Château Lock

Highlight • Structure

In order to bridge a few meters of altitude, a large number of locks were built one after the other at very short intervals. Absolutely worth seeing.

Canal du Rhône au Rhin

Highlight • River

For cyclists, the canal towpath winds through landscapes of meadows, groves, and fields, punctuated by beautiful clearings. Its rows of trees protect cyclists from the intense Alsatian sun.
