The Eider Canal (Schleswig-Holstein Canal) was the forerunner of the Kiel Canal, opened in 1784. At Knoop, part of the old canal remains. On a dirt track you can follow the canal run, which has grown overgrown. At the end of the path you can visit the remains of the old Rathmannsdorf lock. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eider-Kanal
