Tips from the Community
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.

The Haute-Seine canal connects the Seine to the Saône in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It offers beautiful landscapes and testifies to the river engineering of the 19th century. The greenway that runs along it is perfect for cycling!
