Constructed between 1836 and 1846, the Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal linked the Danube at Kelheim with the Main at Bamberg. As an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria, this canal stands as a testament to the ambitious engineering of the 19th century. Featuring 100 locks, it managed a height difference of 264 meters and was part of a navigable route from the North Sea to the Black Sea.
