Pan-European Corridor VII
Pan-European Corridor VII in theory connects
European Watershed, which is spanned by the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal from Bamberg to Kelheim. The canal, which was completed in 1992, is ice-free for approximately 11 months of the year.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
In practice, the economic aspects are over-balanced with the ecological, as represented in the Natura 2000 programme.[8]
The corridor measures 2415km from stem to stern.[9] As of 2014, the EU wanted to maintain a minimum depth of 2.5m all year long.[8]
