Tips from the Community
super beautiful section off the road and absolutely suitable for road bikes. If you want to let it run a bit faster downhill, you'd rather take the road, but uphill this route is a dream

The lifting gear is technically almost unique in Europe. It connects one end of the canal with the other.

This lock is precision work. Shortly afterward, it's best to cross to the opposite side of the canal to safely backtrack a bit and view the boat lift from below. This way, you can avoid the road.

Archaeological excavations are currently uncovering the former Benedictine Abbey of St. Gangolf, so everything can only be seen through the construction fence. The excavation is next to the Protestant church.

The road is quiet, and the climb is rather gentle. Relaxed.

A very beautiful cycle path along an impressive monument to the history of technology. To overcome the difference in elevation, 17 locks were built into the canal. Each of these 17 locks had its own lockkeeper. The charming lockkeeper's houses that line the canal give an idea of the comfortable, prosperous lives the lockkeepers led.
