Beautiful cycle path. However, one must note that there is hardly any shade and you are almost constantly in the sun.

Count Faber-Castell lives with his family in the small village of Dürrenhembach, surrounded by extensive forest land. The beautiful half-timbered houses are picturesquely situated in the middle of the woods and enclosed by a large horse ranch.

The Eckersmühlen lock was built between 1980 and 1985 as part of the construction of the Main-Danube Canal federal waterway and opened on June 15, 1991. It is located partly within 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 Lake Roth via a 300 m long tunnel. Downstream of the lock, the Kleine Roth is diverted beneath the canal in a 200 m long culvert, but can also discharge water from Lake Roth via an inlet structure if necessary.
