Berching Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Berching is definitely worth a visit. Between the old and the new canal + the Sulz river!

Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal

Highlight • Structure

Driving along the Ludwig Donau Main Canal with its exactly 100 locks is very impressive. And again and again the landscape changes its face. That's just great.
