On the D4, just outside Muntzenheim towards Wickerschwihr, a bridge crosses the Colmar Canal, offering a beautiful view of the canal to the east, with the silhouette of the Black Forest and to the west with the Vosges Mountains in the background. The Colmar Canal is a branch of the Rhine-Rhône Canal and was opened on November 13, 1864, after approximately three years of construction. It was built at the urging of the industrialists and merchants of the city of Colmar to connect the city to shipping, as the original route of the Rhine-Rhône Canal bypassed Colmar. The 13.6 km long canal connects the Rhine-Rhône Canal near Artzenheim with the Ill River near Colmar. The canal served as a transport route for about 100 years and then completely lost its importance as a water transport route, first due to the construction of the railway, later due to roads and finally due to the construction of the Grand Canal d'Alsace in 1959.

The Canal du Rhône au Rhin is the connection between the Canal du Colmar and the Canal du Neuf Brisach, so it goes along the canal forever 🤪
