In the past, the Finow barges transported their goods on the canal. Since the canal has hardly any current, the sails were hoisted. When there was no wind, however, people or animals had to pull the barges from the towpath.

Beyond the Horizon

July 13, 2025

They say the eye finds rest when it sees expanse. Anyone who wants to explore this phrase should walk the towpath along the Storkow Canal. It's a path that doesn't impose itself – and that's precisely why it stays. The canal flows through the countryside like a tranquil thought, flanked by birch trees that bear a light glow even in winter.

Here, between Philadelphia and Kummersdorf, Brandenburg stretches out in its most beautiful simplicity. The sky hangs so low that it kisses the water. And on the water, perhaps a boat passes by, slow as a thought that has nowhere to go. It smells of grass, of old wood, of yesterday and the day after tomorrow.

Whoever walks here doesn't have to say much. The path tells enough. Of horses that once pulled barges. Of walkers like WanderTom, who write: "Simply wonderful" – and are right. The canal becomes a mirror. Not just for trees and clouds, but also for what within us wants to be still.

You don't walk here. You let yourself be guided. By the water. By the light. And by the quiet feeling that sometimes a narrow path contains more than an entire city.
