Germany - Ludwig-Donau-Main Kanal

Went for a nice stoll with Robert, Moni, Doris and the kids down the Ludwig-Donau-Main Kanal (Danube-Main Canal built by King Ludwig I). The idea for the canal was first proposed in 793 during the time of Charlemagne (Karl der Grosse) but King Ludwig of Bavaria constructed the canal between 1836 and 1845. The original canal was 178 km from Bamberg to Kelheim. It was one of the largest engineering projects in its day. They modernized the canal beginning in 1922 and finally completing the new canal in 1992. It connects the North Sea with the Black Sea.
