Tips

April 4, 2016

The Ludwig Canal or Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal, as it is officially called, is simply called "the Old Canal" in and around Nuremberg. A romantic relic, left over from times of industrialization, but today an important part of the local recreation. In our days, not only hikers, joggers, Nordic walkers and cyclists use the kilometer-long towpaths for their activities, but also with many "non-athletes" he is a popular destination.

Especially in nice summer weather, it sometimes gets tight on the narrow paths. But even in winter or on cloudy, foggy autumn days, when there are hardly any strollers on the road, the Ludwigskanal radiates a special charm to many.

A small masterpiece was his realization that he was out of date shortly after his inauguration, his fate.

To the right and left of the canal there is a long and flat path with many old locks and lock keeper houses. Again and again there are information boards and make the trip on the canal quite entertaining. There are a number of places to stop for refreshments along the canal. The Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal (also known as the Ludwig Canal or regional “Old Canal”) was the first waterway to be built, which was built in the 19th century. Europe should connect. Construction began in 1836 and up to 9,000 workers were temporarily employed in the construction. The 178 km long building was officially inaugurated in 1846.

This lock is a very romantic place.
Together with the ship "Elfriede" you get an idea of how complex the transport of goods used to be.
