Vormittags fahren Sie auf dem Marne-Rhein-Kanal nach Waltenheim-sur-Zorn. Der Kanal, der 1853 in... see+ Betrieb genommen wurde, wurde zeitgleich mit der Eisenbahnstrecke Paris-Straßburg gebaut. Nach Verlassen von Straßburg fahren Sie durch die Ebene des Elsass bis ins Zorntal.

Endlose Felder, prächtige Bauernhöfe und traditionelle Fachwerkhäuser erwarten Sie. In Truchtersheim besuchen Sie das Maison du Kochersberg, ein Museum für Kunst und Volkstraditionen, das das lokale Erbe, Rituale und Traditionen in ständig wechselnden Ausstellungen alter und zeitgenössischer Artefakte würdigt.

Morning navigation on the Marne-Rhine Canal, enjoying the beautiful landscapes passing before your... see+ eyes. Gently winding or at times straight, the canal weaves through villages, fields, and forests. In the distance, you’ll glimpse the first peaks of the Vosges. Arrival in Saverne early in the afternoon. Visit to the Château du Haut-Barr, known as the "Eye of Alsace." This medieval castle in ruins, dating back to the 12th century, occupies a strategic position between the Lorraine plateau and the Alsace plain. The current castle was built in 1583 by Johann von Manderscheid. The Devil’s Bridge footbridge, accessible by stairs, connects two rocks and is renowned for its legend. Crossing it is particularly striking. Return to the boat.

Saverne Lutzelbourg
In the morning, guided tour of Saverne. This charming town at the foot of the Vosges Mountains is... see+ well worth a visit. Built on a hill, it hides some unsuspected treasures. Among them is the Katz House, adorned with magnificent half-timbered carvings of nude figures, floral, and geometric motifs. Strolling through the town, whether along the water's edge or on its cobbled streets, is a delight. Once known as an "impregnable city," Saverne adopted the Unicorn as its emblem, symbolizing purity and courage.

Return to the boat. Afternoon navigation toward Lutzelbourg. Nestled in the forest, the canal flows gently to the rhythm of nature. A few lock passages will add charm to the journey. Arrival in Lutzelbourg late in the afternoon. Upon arrival, hike to the Château de Lutzelbourg (we recommend sturdy walking shoes).

Navigation toward Xouaxange, passing through the Arzviller inclined plane. This remarkable boat lift allows vessels to cross the Vosges Mountains.

Candlelit lunch while passing through the canal tunnels.
