Souffelweyersheim / Hoenheim - 20th June to 22nd June 2023

Marina is really a port run by the town, 16 Euros a night, someone will come in the morning to collect, Electricity and Water are included.

Supermarket and boulangerie walking distance from the port with a bus stop across the road.

Lovely village lots of German buildings from when they had the land.









Lock looks bigger from the outside

The under pass looks smaller from the footpath.

Waltenheim sur Zorn - 19th June 23 to 20th June 2023

Port has electricity - 5 Euros for 8 hours and water at 2.50 Euros for 15 minutes.

Huge water pressure. So much so that we had a blow out on the hose.

No Supermarket or Boulangerie in town. 





View from our mooring.

Stork nesting in a tree

The council have added a platform on the top of the electricity poles for storks to nest in.

See this a lot in the small villages.

You don't want one nesting on your roof, what a mess.

Hochffelden - 17th June to 19th June 2023

No marina, parked at the side of the Canal a little bit up from the Port de Hochfelden. Port de Hochfelden didn't look very inviting and didn't have electricity or water either so no need to stop there.

Nice walk into town, at least 3 boulangeries, 3 supermarkets and variety of restaurants and Brasserie Meteor with tours around the factory, beer tasting and a restaurant. we were there on a Sunday, Google said it was closed but when we walked past in was opened, could have been because it was Fathers Day.


Happy Father's day dad!

Steinbourg - 16th June to 17th June 2023

Marina - 12 euros a night including electricity, you need to turn off your inverter before you turn the electricity on, will only work with the inverter off and 1 euro for 20 minutes of water.

Small supermarket, boulangerie, restaurant and chemist all walking distance from port. 





So what the sign doesn't say is that if you don't turn off your inverter, it will cause the app to crash and the whole thing doesn't apply any electricity to anybody until it reboots.

Saverne - 14th June to 16th June 2023

 Marina - 20 euros a night with electricity and water included. Short walk to 2 large supermarkets and the center of town.





I ended up going to the hardware store and paying about EUR35 for some tools and 4mm brass rod and making my own shear pin for the bow thruster.
Works well and we back on the road again.

Lutzelbourg - 12th June to 14th June 2023

We stayed at the Locaboat marina as we were hoping they could fix the Bow Thruster.

Cost 20 Euros per night includes Electricity and Water. No Showers. Not far to walk into town and the Boulangerie. 

There are 2 Ports where you can stop in the center of town for free.

We stayed at the locaboat base hoping they could look at it but it didn't happen.
