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.

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

We stayed at the "Blaue Traube" hotel (bike garage available), which is recommended both as a hotel and as a restaurant.

We started in summery 27 degrees, which was to increase over the course of the day. Past the baroque (!) church of Maria Hilf to Freystadt with its pretty town center, unfortunately too early for a stop. But after that there was nothing more (Monday!) until Berching, where we pounced on the first iced coffee at the market. Further fluid …

Tour is a modification of "Barock 14".
I liked the last section away from the canals best. The old Danube-Main Canal is idyllic, but the route along the canals was a bit monotonous for me. Berching and Neumarkt are definitely worth a visit!

Today we sweated quite a bit, not because of the strenuous tour, but because of the sweltering heat... 🥵 But it was still nice, the section of the old canal between Neumarkt and Berching is really particularly nice, Beilngries is a nice little town and on the new one Canal is just so easy to drive there 😃😃
