Rhine–Main–Danube Canal at Neuses

Highlight • River

The highest waterway in Europe

The 171 kilometer long Main-Danube Canal was opened to traffic on September 25, 1992. It begins in Kelheim an der Donau, then runs through the Altmühltal and over the low mountain range of the Franconian Jura. In this area it is the highest waterway in Europe (406 meters above sea level). It extends further to Nuremberg, then merges into the Regnitz near Forchheim to connect to the Main 7 kilometers below Bamberg.
