A lovely walk among the ponds! You can see lots of birds, swans and herons, as well as numerous traces of the beavers that inhabit the banks. According to fishermen, you can see them at dusk.
The route described as straight to reach the canal at the end of the walk (just before 7) no longer exists as such. Apparently, the ponds are larger than shown on the map and you now have to go around them.

a minor issue along the route: a small dyke has collapsed, preventing proper monitoring of the route. Take a detour:

A lovely walk, starting along the canal on a tarmac path. I'll do it again in early November to watch the migratory birds by the ponds; the site is perfect for wonderful surprises.

The description is a bit outdated; the passage between 3 and 4 no longer exists. From 2, go straight towards the Moselle and then, when you get there, turn left to reach 4.

A lovely walk along the canal, then between the ponds. Nice encounters with fishermen...
Just one spot where you have to step over debris on a large concrete pipe, but nothing difficult
Otherwise, lovely views of the ponds.

A pleasant and easy walk among the ponds.
However, there has been a landslide between numbers 4 and 5, making access quite difficult, especially with young children.
At the end, the route has been slightly altered but is easy to find

A very pleasant walk along the waterfront, which can easily be modified by extending or shortening the route.

By chance, I walked along this path last Monday.
From point 7, you can easily return to the starting point via the path that runs alongside the canal you took on the way there!

A pleasant route around the ponds under the warm autumn sun. However, quarrying work has altered the end of the route. You will need to reach the edge of the canal to complete the walk.

We really enjoyed this easy route. We saw swans and ducks.
Before reaching the canal on the final stretch between points 6 and 7, you have to take a detour onto a new path. It looks like a new pond is being built.
