This required 34 locks on the Main, 16 on the Main Danube Canal and 16 on the Danube. This lock just outside Nurnberg would give the maximum fall/rise of 81.01 feet.

This small canal link with its locks connects a 2,170 mile waterway and has become a major commercial as well as tourist travel route. #9984175

that is incredible. My brother was just talking about the Panama Canal yesterday. What a feat for these canals.Thanks for you series of photos. In another life I think you were a teacher. Images have rich color and detail, but my favorite part is the narrative. #10308665
