On the heights of Thann, this 13th century castle offers a magnificent view of the city. Commonly called the Eye of the Witch, it owes this name to the remnant of the old dungeon which recalls this form.

October 14, 2025, Écluse d'Eglingen

The French and European National Cycleway is a great cycleway winding along side of the Rhine Rhone Canal with very little climbing, for those who do not like to climb. However those who are climbing shy, must be aware of the wind in this area. A lot of the locks still have the former lock man’s house which adds a bit of charm to every lock. One is never alone on this route as there is a constant passing of bicycles, both leisure and racing bikes.

The Port fluvial de Dannemarie is no ordinary marina – it’s an unexpected oasis along the canal, where boats bob gently and herons keep watch. For cyclists, it feels like a little refuge: a place to take a break from the rhythm of your pedals and take on the rhythm of the water. Here you can refill your water bottle, stretch your legs on a bench in the shade or a little further away at the restaurant, or just watch the sun play on the surface of the canal.

The Écluse d’Eglingen is a small, active lock on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, near the village of Eglingen in the Sundgau region. This spot is popular with cyclists due to its quiet location along the 'EuroVelo 6' and regional cycle routes. The lock is surrounded by greenery and offers a bench and shade, but no facilities.

Very nice passage along the Thur river. Hilly route towards Lake Wildenstein-Kruht A tarmac road for all audiences I recommend the lunch break at the Kruht Lake Inn.

The Thur on your left, the vineyard on your right. Magnificent (golden) colours of the vineyard from the end of September.
