If you cross the Rhine, which forms the border, you will reach this lock in France for shipping in the parallel Rhine side canal (Grand Canal d'Alsace). To the west of the lock there is still a hydroelectric power plant and a little south on the canal is the recently decommissioned Fessenheim nuclear power plant. If you ride your bike south in the direction of the photo in front of the bridge over the lock on the island, you will have a few kilometers of coarse gravel in front of you. Although the path is wide and flat, it is quite difficult to ride a touring bike or gravel bike, especially in strong headwinds. The path actually requires wide mountain bike tires, even though it is perfectly flat. Only after a few kilometers do you reach the edge of a golf course along an almost overgrown path and a very beautiful road through the forest with new asphalt that leads to the Rhine bridge in Neuchâtel.
Under no circumstances should you try to cool off in the water of the canal because it is surrounded by dangerously slippery and steep concrete. The enclosure has no stairs anywhere and it seems almost impossible to get back to land from the water.

Interesting is rather the info house a few meters before. But a little further in the direction of Germany is a lock with 40 m difference in altitude - quite exciting. Direction Germany behind the lock on the right you will find quiet places directly on the canal.

Coming from Germany, an ideal starting point for the tour along the Rhine-Rhône Canal. However, we recommend overnight stays in the German area, as there is extremely good network coverage (many options) via the "Bett+Bike" smartphone app.

Neuenburg-on-Rhine Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

No matter whether from France to Germany or vice versa; you move from one great country to another. And you have a beautiful view of the Rhine.
