Art on the Canal – Jacob’s Ladder

Highlight • Monument

It's wonderful to cycle along the canal here. It's not for racing, but ideal for leisurely bike rides. The fact that there are a few more or less successful works of art along the way is a nice bonus.

Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A detour to the LMD channel would not be enough. The walk along the canal is the tour itself! Miles along the water, great nature! Super bike paths, not paved but nicely fixed.

After the Neumarker Lammsbräu was recommended to me after the tour yesterday, I treated myself to one after the tour today 😋🍻👍.
Unfortunately I couldn't persuade Komoot to put …
