    Hiking

    The Main-Danube watershed runs not far from Graben (district of Treuchtlingen). The fountain placed at the top allows the pumped water to flow via the Swabian Rezat, Rednitz, Regnitz, Main and Rhine into the North Sea; on the other hand, it can also reach the Black Sea via Altmühl and the Danube.

    However, this demonstration is canceled if there is frost or a severe lack of water.

    Mountain biking

    The European valley - watershed lies on the Karlsgraben and directly on the bike path between Weissenburg and Treuchtlingen. The well worth seeing was erected in 1935, implemented by the city of Treuchtlingen in 1983 and placed here. Curious: If you pump water into the fountain, part of the water flows via Altmühl to the "Black Sea", the other part via the Rezat to the North Sea.

    Hiking

    You can pump water yourself from this special fountain using a pump. The water then splits into two small streams to the left and right. You can see that quite clearly in the picture.

    The left stream flows south into the Altmühl, from there into the Danube and finally into the Black Sea. The right arm takes the water over the Swabian Rezat into the Main, further into the Rhine and finally, after a 1000 km long route, into the North Sea.
