This lock is precision work. Shortly afterward, it's best to cross to the opposite side of the canal to safely backtrack a bit and view the boat lift from below. This way, you can avoid the road.

A very beautiful cycle path along an impressive monument to the history of technology. To overcome the difference in elevation, 17 locks were built into the canal. Each of these 17 locks had its own lockkeeper. The charming lockkeeper's houses that line the canal give an idea of the comfortable, prosperous lives the lockkeepers led.

Saverne was already a Roman military post in the 4th century. From the 15th century until the French Revolution, Saverne was the residence of the powerful bishops of Strasbourg. The Château de Rohan, which boasts the longest neoclassical façade of any building in France, still bears witness to this.

Saverne, the "gateway to Alsace". In the center is the Chateau des Rohan, built in 1790, with its rose garden. The legendary Maison Katz is also located in the city center. This exceptionally beautiful half-timbered house dates back to 1605 and is one of the oldest half-timbered houses in Alsace. The cloister of the former Franciscan convent is located in Rue Poincaré. The former Romanesque collegiate church Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité is the central church building in the old town of Saverne.
