LUDWIG-DANUBE-MAIN CANAL

Pfeifferhütte

Lände Pfeifferhütte, the Landing stage in Pfeifferhütte

Many such information boards are placed along the canal. They explain its history or some canal buildings. In Pfeiferhütte we can read the following:

"At many places landing stages for loading of local goods where created. Using the stages was free of charge, permission of the lock- or canal keeper was enough. The storage facilities at the landing stages were made up of timber and sometimes of stone material from nearby. The landing stage in Pfeifferhütte had a 48 m long wharf. It was mainly a reloading point for cereal."
