Rhine–Main–Danube Canal
The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal is an important water conservancy project in Europe, connecting the Rhine and Danube rivers, thus realizing a waterway from the North Sea to the Black Sea. The canal is 171 kilometers long and runs through southern Germany. It is a key component of Europe's inland shipping network. The design and construction of the canal fully took environmental protection and ecological balance into consideration. There are also multiple levels of locks along the way to overcome the height difference of the terrain and allow ships to pass smoothly. These locks are not only a manifestation of engineering technology, but also a tourist attraction along the canal. The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal has brought significant economic benefits to Nuremberg and its surrounding areas. It not only facilitates the transportation of goods and reduces logistics costs, but also promotes the development of tourism. In addition, cities and villages along the canal have attracted a large number of tourists by developing water tourism, leisure activities and cultural exchanges.Nuremberg · 4.2km from Stein

There is a Gothic spire fountain near the market square, which is colorful and gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is a fence outside, so you can't see it up close. It is said that turning the ring on the fence can bring good luck.
