The Salbert is one of the southernmost mountains of the Vosges. At its summit you have an unobstructed view of the entire Territoire de Belfort. Le Salbert is a stronghold of local military history. Fort du Salbert still bears witness to this past today.

It was after the loss of Alsace in 1871 that the government of the Third Republic decided in 1878 to build canals in Eastern France to allow the movement of goods, and in particular steel products from Lorraine to Franche. -Comté, between the Nancy region and those of Burgundy and Franche-Comté. One of the first projects concerned the construction of the Canal de l'Est which began around 1875 and completed in 1887, then that of the Canal de la Haute-Saône which was to connect the remaining French part of the Canal du Rhône au Rhine to the Canal de l'Est . The aim was also to serve the Ronchamp coal mines and allow the coal produced in its shafts to be evacuated. In 1881 the project was largely defined and received approval from the Administration. The first blows of the pickaxes were given in 1882 but the difficulties encountered during the drilling of the Châlonvillars and Chérimont tunnels, the enormous volume of excavated material, due to the deep trenches and the significant embankments, meant that the initial budget turned out to be under -evaluated. As sufficient additional funds were slow to come, the project dragged on and completion could not take place before the end of the First World War which returned Alsace and its waterways to France. As the usefulness of the canal was no longer established, the entire project was called into question and only the section (12.5 km) connecting the Rhône-Rhine canal to the port of Botans was completed and filled with water in 1926. This port, managed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, served until the 1970s as a coal port for Belfort. At the beginning of the 21st century, only rare pleasure boats still used it. On April 26, 2018, in view of the upcoming closure of the section, the last boats left the port of Botans. The banks are a place for walks appreciated by residents of the Belfort-Montbéliard urban area: it is the Coulée Verte of the canal which allows hikers and cyclists to go from the lock located between Essert and Châlonvillars (Haute-Saône ) at the Prés-la-Rose park in Montbéliard (Doubs), by taking EuroVélo 6 from a point located in the commune of Étupes. The Champagney basin initially constituted the water reserve (13 million m³) for regulating the water level in the canal. Currently, it is a lake very popular with local fishermen and swimmers.

Very well developed cycle path, first along the canal, then through the fields with a unique view of the Vosges. Mostly paved with trees that provide shade and places to rest.
