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.
