    Hiking

    The Gieselau Canal has connected the Eider River with the Kiel Canal (NOK) since 1937.
    The approximately 2 km long canal serves primarily as a link between the two waterways for recreational boating.
    This requires a lock to balance water levels and currents.

    Hiking

    Road traffic, and thus also the hiking trail, is routed through the truly picturesque Giselau Lock. Visitors rattle along wooden planks. The canal is beautifully situated and runs through a rather quiet, rural area.
