The Main-Danube Canal

Almost lost to the mists of time, there lived a man whose
name was Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor, 
and he dreamed an outlandish dream for the 7th Century: 
to build what we now know of as the Main-Danube Canal. 

As you wind your way along the 106 mile Main-Danube Canal, 
think of Charlemagne and his men, attempting to dig a 
navigable trench with only hand tools.  Don't dwell too 
long on them, because you may miss the hilltop monasteries
and medieval castles, grape arbors and picturesque villages 
that your ship will glide by. 

After many stops and starts over the next 1,200 years or so, 
the Main-Danube Canal finally opened in 1992.  By means of
connecting the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers, it enables river
vessels to sail 2,200 miles - all the way from the North Sea to
the Black Sea. (You can actually take a river cruise the entire
way).  

The Main-Danube Canal is Europe's highest navigable waterway:
you sail through 16 locks and, near Nuremberg, the Canal climbs
to over 1,300 feet above sea-level.
