Rhine–Main–Danube Canal: Difference between revisions

The last section to be built, between Nuremberg and Kelheim, became politically controversial in the 1970s and 1980s, mainly because of the {{convert|34|km|mi|adj=on}} long section through the [[Altmühltal|Altmühl valley]]. On 25 September 1992, the canal was completed. The equivalent of some 2.3 billion [[euro]]s were invested in the construction from 1960 to 1992. Almost 20 percent of that went for environmental protection projects.
