    The lock is at Eckersmühlen (with s). A drop height of 25 m is overcome here.

      Each lock is a little high-light in itself, information boards provide background information and are easy to navigate by bike

        Imposing building on the Main-Danube Canal. With a lock height of almost 25 meters, it, like the two neighboring locks in Hilpoltstein and Leerstetten, currently has the highest fall height in Germany. Anyone who has the opportunity to watch a smuggling process should definitely do this. It takes time but is a worthwhile break to slow down.
