Ludwig Donau Main Kanal

Live 1 km from the canal, 5 km from the "Elfriede", the route shown is miten the most beautiful, but also the connection routes are worth driving: direction Nuremberg on Brückkanal with beer garden, building and Schwarzach gorge, past Röthenbach and Wendelsten to Wolkersdorf and also in the direction of Neumarkt with "Art on the Canal", partly shown, and "Apples on the Dam", a detour to the castle ruins high above Neumarkt with a fantastic view is worthwhile and much more in this corner. Only at the weekend it can be tight on the canal with wheels, pedestrians and children (with and without a bike), patience, time and consideration is then announced, but it's still nice!

Belonged to one of the many beautiful sections on the "Five Rivers Cycle Route".

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.

Quiet bike trail right on the canal with some restaurants. Unfortunately now in the fall a lot closed.
