Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Canal no longer used from the imperial era with many old bridges and barriers. Beautiful route to Nuremberg.

Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal

Highlight • Structure

Driving along the Ludwig Donau Main Canal with its exactly 100 locks is very impressive. And again and again the landscape changes its face. That's just great.

The Rothsee is the heart of the water transfer from the Danube to the Rhine-Main area. It stores the water from the Altmühl and Danube that is pumped up via the Main-Danube Canal. A very beautiful lake for all kinds of water sports or just to relax. Beautiful lawns, various restaurants and a beautiful path around the lake. With a water surface area of 2.1 square kilometers, the Rothsee is the largest natural bathing water in the district of Roth. It is divided into two parts, a pre-dam and a main dam.

Rothsee

Highlight • Lake

Lake Rothsee has a lot to offer: It has several beaches where you can sunbathe (or sunbathe) – there's even a dedicated dog beach. Surfing, stand-up paddling, and boating – everything is possible. There are several playgrounds around the lake and many paths for walking and cycling. Food and drink are also available. A worthwhile destination.
