Main-Danube Canal Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice to drive paths on both banks of the canal. The Main-Danube Canal (MDK) itself is an approximately 171-kilometer-long federal waterway that connects the Main near Bamberg with the Danube near Kelheim. The MDK was built between 1960 and 1992.

Sand pits at Föhrenbuck

Highlight • Natural

It's a landscape reserve that looks strange. The path leads along a power line, with the garbage dump on one side and the motorway shining through on the other. In between there is something that has been baptized a landscape protection area. It looks a bit strange.

Start of the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal (Nürnberg-Gartenstadt)

Highlight • Structure

The old canal has been abandoned and closed to the north through Nuremberg, which is why it suddenly appears out of nowhere in the Nuremberg garden city and starts its way towards Wendelstein. This immediacy is fascinating.

Stone arch bridge over the Ludwig Canal near Falkenheim

Highlight • Bridge

It is beautiful here along the Ludwig - Danube - Main Canal, along the "Old Canal". Whether on foot or by bike, pure relaxation and in the middle of the city.
