A fish ladder was built at the former Rastorfer Mill so that not only the water, but also the fish, can pass through the Schwentine, especially in the dammed area. By swimming from pool to pool, the fish can overcome the difference in height that results from the damming of the water in the individual sections of the Schwentine. The fish ladder at the Rastorfer Mill was completed in 2012.
Sea trout and salmon can now swim from the Kiel Fjord through the dams of the Schwentine via various fish ladders (fish ladder at the mouth of the Schwentine, via this fish ladder at the old riverbed of the Schwentine, at the hydroelectric power station I, the former Rastorfer Mill and at the hydroelectric power station II via the impressive Helix tower fish pass) almost to the spring meadow northeast of the village of Bergfeld (Kasseedorf, near Bungsberg).

Here fish can bypass the Schwentine dam.

The fish ladder at the mouth of the Schwentine - the way up for salmonids!
The Schwentine flows into the Baltic Sea in Kiel. In front of the mouth is the north bank promenade, where a special eye-catcher was created in 2013: a so-called "meander fish pass".
The modern marvel of engineering, the fish ladder at the mouth of the Schwentine, is a technical masterpiece and at the same time a popular observation point for visitors. The fish ladder is a structure that enables fish to ascend from the Kiel Fjord to the spawning areas in the Schwentine. It was completed in 2004 and is located on the left bank of the Schwentine River at the "Old Schwentine Bridge".

The new fish ladder was necessary because the natural transition of the Schwentine into the Baltic Sea was blocked by a small hydroelectric power plant in the early 2000s.
