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.

Gigantic canal construction by King Ludwig. Through nature along the canal. You can see pike, carp, ducks and the occasional swan. Beer gardens directly on the canal for refreshments are our recommendation.

September 16, 2025, Main-Danube Canal Lock

The Eckersmühlen lock was built between 1980 and 1985 as part of the construction of the Main-Danube Canal federal waterway and opened on June 15, 1991. It is located partly within the territory of the town of Roth, part of the municipality of Haimpfarrich, and the town of Hilpoltstein, part of the municipality of Heuberg, and is designed as an economy lock with three economy basins south of the lock basin. From the upstream water of the lock, water from the Eckersmühlen section can be fed into Lake Roth via a 300 m long tunnel. Downstream of the lock, the Kleine Roth is diverted beneath the canal in a 200 m long culvert, but can also discharge water from Lake Roth via an inlet structure if necessary.
