The canal must be deep here for these cargo ships to sail through it so fully loaded. In any case, they stir up a lot of mud, because the canal behind the cargo ships is then filled with brown clouds.

These charging stations are actively in use. I've never seen so many cargo ships on any other canal. There are several charging stations of various shapes and sizes along the canal.

There is still a lot of cargo ship traffic here. There are also several loading and unloading stations.

The castle is almost invisible from the towpath. Good that the highlight is positioned correctly, otherwise you will definitely miss it.

The Canal du Nord is a 95 km long canal in northern France that connects the Oise Valley to the Dunkirk-Scheldt Canal. Construction began in 1908, but was interrupted by the First World War. The canal was not completed and opened to navigation until 1965. The canal has 19 locks and two tunnels, including the Ruyaulcourt Tunnel, which spans a height difference of 40 metres. The Canal du Nord is an important waterway for inland navigation, but will be replaced in the future by the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, a more modern connection.
