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.

The Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal, also known as the Ludwig Canal, runs between Bamberg and Kelheim. It was built between 1836 and 1846 under King Ludwig I of Bavaria and, as the name suggests, connects the Main and the Danube. In doing so, he established a seamless navigable connection from the mouth of the Rhine near Rotterdam to the mouth of the Danube in the Black Sea. The waterway was closed in 1950 and is now a local recreation area. So this waterway has lost its original purpose of being a traffic connection from different regions, but today it re-establishes the connection between man and nature.
