The still quite young Eider flows here between the Achterwehr and the Westensee.
The Eider (Latin Egdor; Old Norse Egða; Danish Ejderen) was the longest river in Schleswig-Holstein at 188 kilometers at the end of the 19th century. The course of the Eider east of Rendsburg is interrupted by the Kiel Canal.

Although the Eider meanders close to the Baltic Sea near the city of Kiel, a terminal moraine, the Hornheimer Riegel, blocks the way to the Baltic Sea, and from now on the Eider turns towards the North Sea: After flowing through the Schulensee, it flows west into the Westensee and through him to the north. At Flemhuder See, where it has flowed eastward in the Achterwehrer Schifffahrtskanal since the Kiel Canal was expanded in 1907–1914, it flows into the Kiel Canal, which essentially follows the old river valley to Rendsburg. In this area there are also routes called the Alte Eider and the former Eider Canal.

One of the most beautiful rivers in Schleswig-Holstein - at least I think.
