This destination will take you through the highest lock in France (16,38m) situated in Réchicourt. This example of modern canal engineering was completed in 1969 to replace 17 locks along the Marne-Rhine Canal. The inclined plane lifts boats 150 feet (45 meters) in just 20 minutes. Below the lift, the Marne-Rhine travels nearly three kilometres underground through the Arzviller and Niderviller tunnels.

Lutzelbourg, arguably the most beautiful canal-side village in this part of France, provides an interesting stop with its famous glass and crystal workshops which have been there since the 17th century. Arriving in Saverne is another delight with its ducal palace. Cruising the Canal de la Sarre you pass mainly through the park and woodlands of the Lorraine Regional Park.

The angler’s paradise and beaches of Gondrexange, Rhodes and Mittersheim offer wonderful swimming facilities as well as a variety of water sports.
