Old Lock Staircase and Lock Keeper's House

Highlight • Monument

The old canal is now more than ever a real highlight, the many old locks tell a long story from the good old days when not everything was "smart" 😉🚵‍♂️

One of the most beautiful sections of the trip: the disused canal, rendered useless by the boat lift. Every few hundred meters, there's a lock with an idyllic lock-keeper's cottage along a gently sloping bike path.

Reservoir on the old canal

Nice bike and hiking trail along the old canal. At some locks you can still see the old mechanics. I posted a picture with a text like it used to be. You can collect nice impressions

Wonderful bike ride along the canal to the inclined lift for the canal's scroungers. Then on the disused and dry old canal past old lock keeper cottages and partly over a wooden footbridge through the old canal. A real experience and simply wonderful to drive

Today we continued from Saverne along the Rhine-Marne Canal to the boat lift in Saint-Louis-Arzwiller. The route is scenically beautiful, and the bike path is also in excellent condition.

I have a maritime past. 🥰 From the 90s to the 2000s, I went on 7 boat trips in France. 6 of them as a captain. 2 here in Alsace and 5 on the Saône.

It all started here at Locaboat with a Penichette.
At that time, I was close to getting my boating license, and it wasn't certain whether …

That was a really nice tour today with a delicious French picnic (cheese, sausage and baguette), plus a cool Ortenau wine - the end on the German side with a good stop
