You'll encounter locks several times on this route. The boats used seem specially designed, as you can barely fit a finger between the wall and the boat at the side. It's remarkable to see how quickly such a lock fills.

The Forteresse de Châtel-sur-Moselle was one of the largest fortresses in Europe. It covered five hectares, had twenty-two towers and 1.4 km of ramparts, three floors with galleries and underground rooms. There is a small museum there that documents all of this. There wasn't really much to see on the site itself, as much of it was cordoned off.
