The Main-Danube Canal (MDK) is an approximately 171-kilometer-long federal waterway [3] in Bavaria that connects the Main near Bamberg with the Danube near Kelheim.

The canal was built between 1960 and 1992. With it, a continuous large shipping route (called the European Canal) was created between the North Sea near Rotterdam and the Black Sea near Constanța (Romania), which runs over the Rhine, Main and Danube. This is why the canal is also called the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal (RMD Canal). During the planning and construction period, the name Rhine-Main-Danube large shipping route was also common. [4] Regionally, it is often simply called the New Canal to distinguish it from its predecessor, the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal. The 17 kilometer long apex that crosses the low mountain range Franconian Alb as the European main watershed Rhine-Danube is 406 m above sea level. NHN the highest point of the European waterway network.
Artificially created biotopes and seductively beautiful eco-oases now flank the canal.
