Étupes Lock on the EV6

Highlight • Structure

Interesting bridge of the canal and paths of hallage / cycle to the end of the river of Allen, to SO of Allenjoie.
This section of the canal between Mulhouse and Montbéliard today is too narrow for commercial transport, it is used mainly for pleasure boats, in a month about 150 boats. In dry conditions, the water level in the canal must be lowered, and the boats must pass the locks in groups of 4 boats together.

Montbéliard–Haute-Saône Canal beside the Allan

Highlight • River

All these canals are excellent ways to bike on the trails, or rather busy roads, this is another one that could help make this ride into a loop.
The Haute-Saône Canal, still called the Montbéliard Canal in the Haute-Saône, is a waterway that begins in the north of the Doubs department, crosses the south-western part of the Territoire de Belfort and an unfinished section, is located in the eastern part of Haute-Saone. It is after the loss of Alsace in 1871 that the government of the Third Republic decided in 1878 the construction of canals in the East of France to allow the circulation of the goods, and in particular the Lorraine steel products towards Franche -Comté, between the region of Nancy and those of Burgundy and Franche-Comté. One of the first projects concerned the construction of the Eastern Canal, which began around 1875 and was completed in 1887, and that of the Haute-Saône Canal, which was to link the French part of the Rhone-Rhine Canal to the Eastern Canal. . The goal was also to serve the coal mines of Ronchamp and to evacuate the coal produced in its wells. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_de_la_Haute-Sa%C3%B4ne

Trail Along the Allaine

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

By taking this path when coming from the north (Courtemaîche, Courchavon), you avoid the last km of the cantonal road 6 before arriving at Porrentruy. We save ourselves the first when we drive in the other direction of course. Nice compact gravel path (for any type of bike)

Porrentruy Old Town and Botanical Garden

Highlight • Settlement

Pruntrut is 443 m above sea level. M., 21 kilometers west-northwest of the cantonal capital Delsberg (as the crow flies). The city extends in a wide lowland on both sides of the Allaine, in the Ajoie (German Elsgau), at the northern foot of the Chain Jura. The stately old town of Porrentruy is in a slightly elevated position.
The town and the botanical garden are worth seeing

Porrentruy Castle

Highlight • Castle

Well preserved late medieval to early baroque castle, with some long-defunct walls still intact. Worth the detour to check out the old tower and the idyllic location.
