BL106 - Around the canal, the gateways to Sundgau

The Rhône-Rhine Canal carves a furrow through Alsace from its entry point at Valdieu, at 350 m in altitude to Brunstatt at 250 m in altitude. As you cycle along its banks from lock to lock, between Wolfersdorf and Illfurth, you can easily imagine the pace of life of the canal boatmen of yore. The trail also follows the former railway lines along the rivers Ill and Largue reminding us of a time when it was usual to travel to the Sundgau by train.
