| Page Views: 643 Last Visit to Lorraine: May, 2006 | With a boat through Lorraine & Alsace by himalia11 - last update: Oct 26, 2006 |
We’ve spent one week on a boat, travelling through Lorraine & Alsace. This was adventurous, exhausting and funny! We started in Mittersheim on the Sarre-Cole-Canal (Canal des Houillières de la Sarre) and continued on the Marne-Rhine-Canal (Canal de la Marne au Rhin) up to Saverne. We spent there a night and the whole morning as Saverne is a very beautiful city. Then we turned and went back to Mittersheim. We drove 62 km in a beautiful landscape with lakes, forests and hills, had 52 locks (that’s where I got so exhausted!), went through two canal tunnels and passed a boat lift. The weather was a mixture of rain and sun, some good days and some bad days. Back home, I was happy to have a big bathroom again (and electric power for my hair dryer!), but living and driving around on a boat was a great experience! |
