canal, saar,

Saarkanal

A 63km long canal, built at the end of the 19th century to bring Prussian coal to France and French iron ore to Prussia. Its commercial use has long past, and now it is used exclusively for leisure boats. Between Sarralbe and Sarreguemines, the canal and the River Saar itself flow parallel to one another in the green and woody Saar Valley.

    They never built canals in this country so we don't have such lovely waterways for leisure boats today.

    Looks like the boaters and walkers do not favor the place, nobody seen around. Except for one dedicated photographer:-).
