The lifting gear is technically almost unique in Europe. It connects one end of the canal with the other.

This Vosges sandstone railway viaduct spans the Zorn Valley, the Marne-Rhine Canal, and the road below. Built in the 19th century for the Paris-Strasbourg line, it originally had five arches – hence its local name in the dialect, "5 Torre" (five arches). Destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt with only three arches. From the towpath, the bridge offers a superb view, especially when its reflection forms a perfect circle in the canal water. With a bit of luck, you might even see a train pass overhead.

This lock is precision work. Shortly afterward, it's best to cross to the opposite side of the canal to safely backtrack a bit and view the boat lift from below. This way, you can avoid the road.

"The castle was built between 1780 and 1790 by the architect Nicolas Alexandre Salins de Montfort [...]. The commissioner was Cardinal Louis René Édouard de Rohan-Guéméné, who owned other residences, including the Palais Rohan in Strasbourg and the more modest Rohan Castle in Mutzig."
