The Valley of the Lock Keepers

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Lock Keepers' Valley is an 8.5-kilometer-long cycle path along the Marne-Rhine Canal. It is dotted with 17 locks, now unused, which once allowed visitors to cross the threshold of the Vosges Mountains. They were replaced by the Arzviller boat lift. The small lock-keepers' houses with their pinkish plasterwork and the somewhat wild nature make the area particularly bucolic.

The old canal is now dry (replaced by the new canal with a boat lift). A cycle bridge now runs a few hundred meters in the old canal.
