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.

Mostly fine gravel, beautiful scenery.
We drove along here during the week and there wasn't much going on.

Always very busy on the bike paths along the canal. But with a little respect, they can all enjoy the great area.
