At Pierheim you cross the main European watershed between the Rhine and the Danube. The MD channel has here with 406 m its highest point. There is also a monument to admire. Crowning is the name of a sculpture designed by Hannsjörg Voth at the apex of the Main-Danube Canal. Its two wall-like parts adjoin the two banks of the canal where it passes the European watershed or the watershed between the Main river flowing over the Rhine to the North Sea and the Danube River flowing to the Black Sea.
The two walls made of white granite blocks aligned with each other with their 6 cm wide upper boundary surface, which disappear at the outer ends in the grown ground, with each other.

Peak position Main-Danube Canal - The European watershed. The granite sculpture by Hannsjörg Voth stands powerfully in the landscape, marking the European watershed on the canal. The 17-kilometer peak, which 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.

Sculpture top view seen from the north (in the background Hilpoltstein-Pierheim). These are two walls aligned over the top of the canal. The front wall ends in front of the path in the foreground, the rear, southern wall begins after the southern operating route along the shore. Source Wikipedia.
