The inclined plane of Arzviller, one of the most remarkable fluvial constructions, and unique in Europe. This boat lift was built in 1969 to replace 17 locks, and enables a change in height of 44 meters. It was closed for a little over 2 years in 2013 following an accident involving a cruise boat, and damage caused by the ferryboat.From Lutzelbourg to Saverne, 10 km, 10 Lock(s), 3.3 h of navigation
