The canal is always a super highlight for cycling - wonderfully developed cycle paths

Always great to see. Irrigation system where water is pumped from the Regnitz into these ditches - the meadows are briefly flooded and thus irrigated, the rest flows back into the Regnitz further down - well, the old people back then weren't stupid

The lock keeper's house of lock 96 is located in the immediate vicinity of today's Main Danube Canal. Today it houses the clubhouse of SV Hirschaid.
