Idyllic little road between Mauk and Altenheideck. Slightly uphill from both directions, it almost feels like a mountain pass. The road is only one lane, so be careful of oncoming traffic.

The Eckersmühlen lock was built between 1980 and 1985 as part of the construction of the federal waterway Main-Danube Canal and opened for operation on June 15, 1991.[4] It lies partly in 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 the Rothsee via a 300 m long tunnel. Downstream of the lock, the Kleine Roth is diverted under the canal in a 200 m long culvert, but can also release water from the Rothsee via an inlet structure if necessary.
