Heading west and in the opposite direction will take you to Lützelbourg where you’ll encounter the unique feat of engineering that is the famous boat lift. After Lützelbourg, you’ll reach the unusual tunnels of Niderviller.

Swimming, fishing and other activities on and in the water can be enjoyed on the lakes that border the Sarre Canal.

A one-way boating holiday between Saverne and Harskirchen:

With the growing interest in one-way cruising itineraries, Nicols opened a new base at Harskirchen in 2014. This base is located on the Sarre Canal just a few kilometres from the German border. The route between the two bases is just over 70km and has 30 locks so involves approximately 18 hours of navigation – the equivalent of three to four days. This itinerary is therefore a great option for those looking to enjoy a short break holiday in Alsace.
