    From Franche-Comté to Switzerland, EuroVelo 6 enters Alsace via the Rhône-Rhine canal, marked in its southern part by the impressive set of twelve locks of Valdieu-Lutran. Upon reaching Mulhouse, the route continues along the bank of the Rhône-Rhine canal to Kembs. From there, by following the towpath of the Huningue canal, the route leads over the Three Countries footbridge, into Germany and then Switzerland to Basel.
