    The Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal is a relic from the era of industrialization. Thanks to it, people could travel by ship from the North Sea to the Black Sea. At some point, its economic importance declined and tourism increased. The towpaths are a wonderful place to stroll or cycle.

      To the right and left of the canal there is a long and flat path with many old locks and lock keeper houses. Again and again there are information boards and make the trip on the canal quite entertaining. There are a number of places to stop for refreshments along the canal. The Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal (also known as the Ludwig Canal or regional “Old Canal”) was the first waterway to be built, which was built in the 19th century. Europe should connect. Construction began in 1836 and up to 9,000 workers were temporarily employed in the construction. The 178 km long building was officially inaugurated in 1846.

        Along the canal, the old towpaths, which are in very good condition, can be used for flat bike tours with a historical background.
