Guided Story
Imagine standing at the heart of a bustling 19th-century trade route. Look to your left, there's one of the impressive locks of the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal. These locks were crucial for navigating the landscape's elevation changes. Picture the heavy barges being towed by horses, skillfully maneuvering through these narrow passages. Behind you is the Treidelstein, a silent witness to the hard work of the haulers who moved these vessels by sheer muscle power. The calm you feel now contrasts with the bustling activity of the past — quite a thought, isn't it?
