This bridge is a real challenge with a touring bike loaded with a lot of luggage and cannot be managed by women without courageous help. What a joke it is that it is "easy to cross"!!!

This is where the Saar Coal Canal ends and meets the Rhine-Marne Canal. You can follow this canal to the left towards Strasbourg or to the right towards Nancy.

Despite the conflicts, the saltworks continued to contribute to the city's prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries. Salt production only stopped in 1973 because the industrial facilities had suffered less from the bombings of 1944 than the rest of the city. Today, the town of 3,300 inhabitants highlights its heritage and history as rich as it is unique. Just like the green surroundings between meadows and ponds, which delight hikers.

The salt mines of Dieuze became a strategic point in the Middle Ages and the town was coveted by the Dukes of Lorraine. Affected by the Thirty Years' War, Dieuze was conquered by the King of France in 1642.
