VNF - Niffer Lock

Who has never been fascinated by the mystery of locks and their essential role in river navigation?

In Niffer, the lock site team opens the doors to these impressive structures. You will explore the wing walls, the lock chamber, and the control tower during exclusive guided tours designed to reveal the behind-the-scenes of these infrastructures.

These special moments also allow you to witness a boat passing through and admire the surrounding landscape, with a breathtaking view of the Rhine plain, nestled between the Grand Canal of Alsace and the Rhône-Rhine Canal.

Nearby, the Le Corbusier lock, built in 1960, adds an architectural touch to this discovery. To join these tours, booking is required through the Mulhouse and Region Tourist Office, depending on scheduled dates.
