This canal is appreciated by tourist sailors. It crosses the regional nature park of Lorraine, the Vosges and the plain of Alsace. Its route, with numerous civil-engineering structures, is really spectacular: It contains the highest lock in the Freycinet network, Réchicourt, and the inclined plane of Arzviller – unique in Europe – where the boats are hoisted along the cliff.
