The old canal is very idyllic and is accessible via a cycle/footpath. Large trees on the right and left often provide shade

Beautiful cycle path. However, one must note that there is hardly any shade and you are almost constantly in the sun.

This is the highest point of the RMD canal. The watershed between the Main-Rhine river system, which drains north to the North Sea, and the Danube, which drains towards the Black Sea.

The Rothsee invites you to linger. There are also gastronomic offers where you can refresh yourself with drinks and ice cream or strengthen yourself with a meal.
