The longest river in Schleswig-Holstein, the Eider was used in its eastern half in the 18th century for the construction of the Schleswig-Holstein Canal and is now taken up to a large extent by the Kiel Canal. Only shortly before Rendsburg, the Obereider separates from the channel and forms a wide lake. The Eider in the Obereidersee ends at the former Rendsburg old town island. Here, where once the port of Rendsburg ensured the cargo handling still create passenger ships and a waterfront promenade adorns the outskirts. From here you have an incomparable view of the panorama of the old town with the venerable St. Mary's Church and the small-scale tangles of houses. Right next to it, a modern marina invites pleasure boaters to stay overnight and stroll.
The Untereider has it very hard, without connection to Obereider, again in "ride" to come. It forms on the other side of the old town a calm waters with reed covered banks. From here, the river meanders at first parallel to the canal and begins to flow slowly again. An El Dorado for canoeists and nature lovers. Only through the Gieselau Canal with its lock, there is a connection to the Kiel Canal. From there, the Eider is also really navigable and invites many weekend trippers on a ride through lush meadows, along contemplative reed beds and kinkdurchzogener landscape. On the walks or bike rides along the many turns of this long river, you can see many wild birds that you hardly get to see. At the Eider barrier, which protects the landscape of the Eider from the ebb and flow, the water of the river leads into the North Sea.

Nice alternative if the canal is too full again.
Suitable for hikers and cyclists.

Here is a very nice bike path along the Untereider.
The Eider forms the border between the parts of Schleswig and Holstein. It rises in the eastern hilly region south of Kiel and winds its way 188 m from east to west across the country. At Tönning it flows into the North Sea. The Eider is the longest river in the country.
Until a few decades ago, ebb and flow influenced the water levels in the Eider beyond Rendsburg. In the lowlands, residents had to expect flooding from two sides: during storm surges, the North Sea water was pressed into the Eider, and during heavy rainfall, water masses flowed from the higher catchment areas into the river lowlands.
Since the Middle Ages, attempts have been made to counteract this: Eider, Treene and Sorge have been relieved, the Treene near the Eider estuary in Friedrichstadt was insulated in 1570, the Sorge was diverted and in 1630 the Sorgekoog was drained via the stone lock. It was only when the Nordfeld lock was completed in 1936 that it was possible to permanently protect the Eider lowland upstream from flooding.
Since 1973, the entire Eider has been sealed off against storm surges by the powerful Eider barrage at Tönning.
