SELF DRIVE RIVER BOAT RENTALS FROM Hesse
The Hesse base is the starting point for one-way cruises on the Marne-Rhine Canal to Boofzheim.
The locks are automatic on the Marne-Rhine Canal and the Rhone-Rhine Canal. They are closed on some bank holidays. Locks are manual on the Canal de la Sarre.
The Canal de la Marne requires repair work east of Saverne: navigation is therefore interrupted at this level from March 2025 until the end of May 2025.
Sector concerned: Canal de la Marne au Rhin, East branch (on reach 34) between pk 271.016 (Lock 33 at Monswiller) and pk 272.221 (Lock 34 at Steinbourg).
As a result, there is no one-way navigation in Alsace (Boofzheim-Hesse or Languimberg-Waltenheim) from March to the end of May 2025, and no navigation to Strasbourg until the end of May 2025.
Navigation on this region’s waterways is quite easy and perfectly suitable for a first canal cruise experience.
You can moor wherever you want along the canals, even in the heart of the countryside.
- In Hesse you will find a bakery and a restaurant.
- In Sarrebourg, located 5km from the base you will find: Various shops, Supermarkets, Restaurants, Services
- Generally depending on the length of the boat. Between 10 € and 15 € per night. Rates may change
- Air: Strasbourg airports 80km
- Train: Gares Sarrebourg 5km
- Car: From Saverne 30km
