    If visibility is good, you can see the Brocken directly above the branch channel.

      The canal, which is only 18 kilometers long, was built between 1938 and 1940 as a connection to the steelworks.

        The Salzgitter branch canal (SKS) is a federal waterway that connects the Mittelland Canal with the port facilities of the city of Salzgitter.

        The canal was built to connect the Hermann Göring steelworks (now Salzgitter AG) to the existing Mittelland Canal.

        The first plans were made in August 1937.

        Construction began on April 4, 1938, and the entire branch canal was put into operation on December 2, 1940.
