The Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal, an archaeological heritage monument in Bavaria, was completed in 1845 as part of the ambitious Ludwig Canal. Spanning 172.4 kilometers from Kelheim to Bamberg, it linked the Danube and Main, overcoming a height difference of 264 meters with 100 locks. This historical structure was part of a navigable route from the North Sea to the Black Sea.
