Guide to the Canal du Rhône au Rhin (Nord) and Canal de Colmar (Printed version)

This guide covers the navigable Canal du Rhône au Rhin (Nord) runs for around 35kms from the lock of Écluse du Rhin, where it joins the Grand Canal d’Alsace just downstream of the large Rhine lock of Rhinau, to the major city of Strasbourg, where it joins the Canal de la Marne au Rhin. The canal can also be entered from the Grand Canal d’Alsace via the Écluse Nord in Strasbourg’s avant port at PK 295.5 or the Écluse Sud at PK 291.

Details are provided on all the marinas, haltes and other mooring points (even picnic stops) along the waterway, together with information on facilities, shopping and nearby attractions. Each mooring point is illustrated by a colour photo, meaning that the guide is the only detailed pictorial reference available for cruising on this waterway.

This guide is one of a series of 17 full colour guides to moorings on the French inland waterways, produced and edited by Gordon Knight, based on a series of annual cruises along these beautiful inland waterways.

The guide is regularly updated (usually annually) using reports submitted by members of the CA's European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS).

Note that this is the printed version of the guide which is free for CA members to download. The digital version of the guide can be downloaded free for members here.
