Würmkanal, Baroque canal near Oberschleißheim, Germany
The Würmkanal stretches for ten kilometers from Karlsfeld through Munich, connecting the Würm River to Schleißheim Palace with a width of seven meters.
In 1690, Bavarian Elector Max Emanuel commissioned court architect Enrico Zuccalli to construct this straight waterway as part of the North Munich canal network.
The canal forms an integral component of Bavaria's water management system, connecting the royal residences of Schleißheim, Dachau, and Nymphenburg through engineered waterways.
Modern visitors can walk along the protected biotope paths beside the canal, which continues to supply water to the Schleißheim Palace grounds.
The canal features a distinctive crossing structure built in 1915, where the Würmhölzl stream passes underneath through a nagelfluh stone construction.
