Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal near Neumarkt

Highlight • River

Nice stretch along the canal. Very relaxing when it's not Sunday and the sun is shining, because then this channel is very busy.

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.

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.

Towboat “Elfriede” on the Ludwig–Danube–Main Canal

Highlight • Historical Site

The old canal with its locks and sculptures is always worth a tour. It's best to drive during the week, there is a lot going on on Sundays and public holidays.

Lock 37 on the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal

Highlight • Monument

The Ludwig Canal or Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal, as it is officially called, is simply called "the Old Canal" in and around Nuremberg. A romantic relic, left over from times of industrialization, but today an important part of the local recreation. In our days, not only hikers, joggers, Nordic walkers and cyclists use the kilometer-long towpaths for their activities, but also with many "non-athletes" he is a popular destination.

Especially in nice summer weather, it sometimes gets tight on the narrow paths. But even in winter or on cloudy, foggy autumn days, when there are hardly any strollers on the road, the Ludwigskanal radiates a special charm to many.

A small masterpiece was his realization that he was out of date shortly after his inauguration, his fate.
