Beautiful cycle path, initially wide, later narrower but also less busy, always next to the canal, past some locks which you can also admire in action now and then.

The chapel was probably built in the 18th century on top of the southern hill, offering a breathtaking view of the village. Its name comes from the large wooden cross, painted black, installed in front of the chapel, facing the village of Dauendorf. On the feast of the Assumption and Pentecost, a pilgrimage of parishioners leaves the village heading towards the chapel. A religious celebration takes place outdoors under the large cross, as the chapel cannot accommodate all the faithful. (Info Commune de Dauendorf).

Great bike path. No cars, few bikes, and even fewer pedestrians.

The Château des Rohan, formerly called "The Little Alsatian Versailles," is located in the city center of Saverne on the Rhine-Marne Canal. This former bishop's castle, built in the 13th century and restored in the 19th century on the initiative of Napoleon III, now houses a museum, a cultural center, a youth hostel, and a school. The neoclassical façade (park side), made of pink sandstone, is 140 meters long, which is the same horizontal height as Strasbourg Cathedral. The Château des Rohan Museum presents extensive Gallo-Roman and medieval archaeological collections. It consists of three departments: Art and History, Louise Weiss, and Archaeology. The Art and History department encompasses many areas: paintings, prints, and 15th- and 16th-century polychrome wood carvings from the churches of Saverne and the region, as well as a room dedicated to the history of the castle. Louise Weiss Department To honor her Alsatian ties (her family originally came from Petite-Pierre near Saverne), journalist Louise Weiss (1893-1983) donated her collections (ethnographic objects, paintings, drawings, 19th- and 20th-century decorative arts, and personal archives) to the Saverne Museum in 1981 and 1983. Archaeological Department In the vaulted cellars of the castle, the museum houses a rich archaeological collection, including numerous Gallo-Roman funerary and votive steles. Tours of the museum and access to the castle roof are available (upon request). Admission (museum + roof access): €5 (adults) and €4 (students)
