This guide covers The Canal de la Sarre, which runs north for 63 kms from its junction with the Canal de la Marne au Rhin (Est) near Gondrexange to the town of Sarreguemines, where it becomes the canalised Riv-er Sarre. The river then continues for 30 kms with France on the left bank and Germany on the right as far as the lock at Güdingen, where it enters Germa-ny as the River Saar and flows for a further 93 kms, finally joining the River Moselle at the town of Konz. Minimum depth in the canal and river is 1.8m and air draft 3.6m.
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.
The guide is available for purchase in printed or digital format (PDF, which members can download for free from the members' EIWS web page). Reports on all the moorings are also included on CAptain's Mate, the CA's proprietary app, enabling them to be regularly updated by CA members posting online reports using the app.
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.
