Description
Petit parking au bout du chemin qui mène à la grande écluse de Rechicourt. En bordure de forêt, endroit calme. La route qui y mène est moitié goudronnée moitié graviers mais praticable. L'écluse à 50 m est impressionnante avec un différentiel de 16 mètres. Une piste cyclable permet des balades au bord du canal de la Marne au Rhin
The Camper’s take
Small parking lot nestled in forest at the base of Rechicourt's impressive lock (16 m difference, France's highest). Access via narrow forest road but passable. Very peaceful spot, excellent for hiking and cycling along the Marne-Rhine canal. No facilities. Mobile network coverage extremely poor or absent.
Highlights
- Very quiet and relaxing site, perfect for peace and quiet
- Impressive lock with a mural, great photo opportunity
- Excellent cycling and hiking along the canal
- Friendly and informative lock staff
Good to know
- Narrow access (single-lane road) and poor road conditions (gravel, unmaintained)
- No facilities (bins, water, electricity)
- Mobile network is practically nonexistent (2G, 3G, 4G very weak or unavailable)
- Small parking lot with limited spaces, near a private residence.
Motorhome access : Narrow access: single-track forest road, half tarmac half gravel, unmaintained, drive slowly. Difficult to pass if vehicles meet. Flat macadam parking with little room to maneuver.
