You'll encounter locks several times on this route. The boats used seem specially designed, as you can barely fit a finger between the wall and the boat at the side. It's remarkable to see how quickly such a lock fills.

Winning stones

Highlight • Other

A huge amount of stones came from the adjacent lake (?). The lake could also have been formed by quarrying the stones.

The cycle path that connects the Vosges Canal to the Moselle. It's called the Blue Way and this section runs from Gripport to Golbey.

Old Factory by the Canal

Highlight • Monument

The brick buildings look like a lost place, but in any case a closed ensemble directly on the canal: impressive!

Canal des Vosges Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle path along the canal. Every now and then the path changes sides and the route is sometimes a bit misleading.
