Hiking
The Oder-Havel Canal was inaugurated on June 17, 1914 by Kaiser Wilhelm II and was then named “Hohenzollern Canal”. After 1945 the canal was renamed the “Oder-Havel Canal”.
The canal is partly above the level of the surrounding landscape because it overcomes the watershed between the Elbe and the Oder. The artificial waterway has no current and has riprap on the banks throughout. Due to the straight lines and the lack of vegetation, it is not particularly attractive. But once you're here, you should also climb up to the dam, because the dimensions are quite impressive.
