Dörlbach Cut (Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal Cut)

Highlight • Monument

Deep artificial incision for the King Ludwig Canal that impressively shows the architecture of the century before last. It would be hard to imagine such a cut in the terrain without heavy excavator technology today.

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.

View of Dörlbacher Einschnitt and Canal Workers Monument

Highlight • Monument

The lower path from the Dörlbacher Einschnitt next to the canal is partly paved with sharp gravel surfaces and is less recommended for cyclists.
