If you are here on the Main-Danube Canal, you should not miss the visitor platform of the Eckersmühlen lock. As with the locks in Hilpoltstein and Leerstetten, the lock drop height is 24.67 meters, which is the largest drop height that has ever been built in Germany.

An ascent to the lock is rewarded with a great view and information boards about the funtionsweise the locks and the Main -Rhine-Donaukanal.
