A small relief to ride flat along the canal for a while when you come from the hilly area.

Hikers have uploaded a much larger photo gallery with additional images of this beautifully situated pond to the Highlight (corresponding to this sport). Their photos of the "Etang de Lindre" can be found via the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/5427064

The canal is worth a bike trip - although the section between Nancy and Xouaxange does not offer such outstanding landscapes.

The cycle paths in this area are almost new and great to ride. The existing cycle paths should also be maintained - e.g. grass and trees should be cut! It is easy to have cycle paths built with EU money, they look great and are wonderful to ride on! But it is also clearly visible to everyone if they are not maintained in the years to come. On our trip from Nancy to Xouaxange we experienced by far the worst maintained cycle paths on the canal - and we had almost 2300 km (canal kilometers) behind us in France. It is just strange that this area is one of the richest regions in the whole of France.
