The Main-Danube Canal (MDK) is a 171-kilometer-long federal waterway[3] in Bavaria that connects the Main near Bamberg with the Danube near Kelheim. The canal was built between 1960 and 1992 (Wikipedia). A good bike path goes along the canal.

The path with its changing surface is not suitable for racing bikes. Ideal for trekking or gravel bikes.

The good old canal. There used to be far more ships sailing on it.

But who knows, with current oil prices, maybe it'll be profitable again.

The locks in Kriegenbrunn and Möhrendorf are being rebuilt – a massive construction project.
