The weir regulates the water level of the Regnitz in the Bug area and stabilizes the water volume of the left arm of the Regnitz, which runs through historic Bamberg. High water is discharged via the weir into the right arm of the Regnitz, which shortly thereafter becomes the Main-Danube Canal.

Luitpold Bridge 🌉 Main-Danube Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The Luitpold Bridge in Bamberg is an inner-city road bridge over the Main-Danube Canal, it was built in 2005/06 to replace a previous bridge. The 101 meter long and 21.2 meter wide Luitpold Bridge has three lanes, cycle paths separated by markings and sidewalks three meters wide on both sides. The two striking steel arches are slightly offset from each other, as the bridge does not cross the canal at right angles, but at an angle.
