The Almkanal is an artificial works channel in the south of the city of Salzburg to the left of the Königsseeache and the Salzach. The Stiftsarm tunnel leading through the Mönchsberg is the oldest medieval water tunnel in Central Europe. It served to supply the city with utility , drinking and extinguishing water as well as the mill operation . Today the Almkanal is primarily important as a recreational area and a cultural monument, but it is also still used to generate energy.
