Description of
the boating holiday

Pottery, porcelain and castles along the Marne-Rhine Canal

With a weekend cruising along the Marne-Rhine canal, between Saverne and Niderviller, you will discover Alsace's historic and patrimonial treasures while indulging in delicious local cuisine in traditional restaurants. A special highlight of the trip is the use of the impressive boat lift Arzviller!

Located at the foot of the Regional Natural Park of the Northern Vosges which is classified as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, the marina of Saverne is an excellent starting point for a boating holiday.  From here you can discover a region rich in gastronomy, culture, heritage and nature.

We’ll be back!
In two days, we thoroughly enjoyed the variety of Alsatian landscapes along the Marne-Rhine canal - the castles, the green landscapes and, of course, the experience of the forgetting the magnificent boat lift at Artzviller. We will return!
