A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and this is how the "treidelpfads" got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are often used by hikers and cyclists.

Awesome trail (clean and respected by everyone) in Macey Wood. Trail for hikers, mountain bikers, runners ... A beautiful trail sometimes tight but very often passable by crossing other practitioners. There are a multitude of small crossings with lots of other paths, so I advise you to get lost a bit, there is a lot of potential! For those who walk their dogs there, keep them ready because there is no passage!
