The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal (German: Rhein-Main-Donau-Kanal) in Bavaria, Germany, connects the Main and the Danube rivers across the European Watershed. The canal with a length of 171 kilometres is running from Bamberg via Nuremberg to Kelheim and connects the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea. Plans for the canal had existed since the 8th century but in its present form it was only completed in 1992. The Rhein-Main-Donau AG was founded in 1921 and is responsible for the development of the whole waterway as well as flood prevention. The company also owns a few hydropower plants.
