Avoid sunny weekend afternoons; it gets far too crowded. Mornings are preferable.

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and this is how the "treidelpfads" got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are often used by hikers and cyclists.

I noticed this highlight during my search. However, it is not on the Haute Saône Canal but on an independent river, the Savoureuse. According to Wikipedia: The Savoureuse is a right tributary of the Allan, around 41 kilometers long, in the French department of Territoire de Belfort in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It flows through the city of Belfort and drains the western part of the department to the Mediterranean via the Allan, Doubs, Saône and Rhône water system. The Savoureuse catchment area covers an area of around 225 km². The river name comes from the Patois expression savour (saw). https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savoureuse
