Hiking

Always a nice place to stop and watch the reflection of the water. An information board reports on the historical background.

Hiking

Almost two thirds of the 100 locks are still preserved today, although some have been filled. The lock chambers were 4.67 meters (16 feet) wide with outer gates spaced 34.15 meters (117 feet) apart. Most locks had a third gate, which shortened the chamber to approximately 28.30 meters (97 feet) and enabled economy operation on shorter ships. This third pair of gates did not exist at the locks on the Altmühl, the locks on the Regnitz near Erlangen and lock 100 in Bamberg because there was no need to save water there.
