very nice when Elfriede, pulled by a horse, passes you on the King Ludwig Canal

An old towboat on the old canal. Regular trips take place in the summer. It's the perfect way to slow down.

The old Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal, which is one of the most beautiful natural monuments in Bavaria, flows right through the Burgthanner municipal area. In the summer months, you can glide along silently like more than 160 years ago at the beginning of canal shipping, with the towboat "Elfriede" - a popular destination for young and old.
