Langer Trödel Canal

The western section of the Finow Canal between Zerpenschleuse and Liebenwalde is also called Langer Trödel. The name is made up of the words treideln and trödeln. If that doesn't invite you to stroll along the bank of the canal and watch the paddlers.

The western section of the Finow Canal near Eberswalde between Zerpenschleuse and Liebenwalde is called the Langer Trödel. Trödel or flood was the name given to the first Finow Canal between Liebenwalde and the Finow near Schöpfurt as early as 1609. When the two Zerpenschleuse locks were taken out of service and filled in in 1924/1925, the Lange Trödel became a 10-kilometer-long dead end. The name Trödel is a play on words from treideln and trödeln (to stroll, to be slow). After 3 years of expansion work, the Lange Trödel has been open to boat traffic again since June 16, 2016.
