Historical lock over the Old Eider Canal. Also a nice place to rest.

The "Schleswig-Holstein Canal" or "Eider Canal" built between 1777 and 1784 connected the Kiel Fjord with the lower Eider near Rendsburg from 1784 to 1890. It was the first canal in the world that seagoing ships could navigate. At that time it was the largest canal in Europe. This opened up a sea route from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea without having to choose the dangerous and much longer route via Skagen.

With the help of six locks - Holtenau, Knoop, Rathmansdorf, Königförde, Kluvensiek and Rendsburg, the ships were each raised or lowered by about 2.5m.
The ships used to be pulled through the Old Eider Canal from the shore by hand or by horse - this is called towing.
