Faber Castle Schwarzenbruck

Highlight • Castle

A fairytale castle 🏰, now it serves as a retirement home.

Schwarzach Bridge Canal (Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal Aqueduct)

Highlight • Bridge

Bavaria's King Ludwig I, created an artificial waterway from Bamberg to Kehlheim in just ten years, linking the Main and the Danube for the first time. On 15.07.1846 the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal was officially opened. With a length of 173 km, 10 Brückkanalbauten and 100 locks, this channel was an overwhelming achievement of the engineering of its time. Today, the old canal and the Brückkanal is a popular destination for families and those seeking relaxation.

Waldschänke Brückkanal Beer Garden

Highlight • Pub

The Waldschänke Brückkanal is idyllically located, directly at the old canal bridge that leads the historic Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal with a huge arch construction over the Schwarzach. The ideal meeting point for cyclists and hikers. Here you can enjoy Franconian delicacies and a measure of good Landwehr beer in a shady beer garden.
