Historic lock of the Finow Canal directly at the confluence of Finow Canal and Oder-Havel Canal. It is located in close proximity to the ship lift and can be committed as a change from one to the other shore.

July 7, 2025,Fahrradtour Eberswalde - Hohensaaten

We spent the night near Eberswalde. After a hearty breakfast we set off. Today's tour is split into two parts. The ship docked in Hohensaaten. If you wanted you could start the tour here. But it was also possible to get back on board here. Or you could take the second part to Schwedt. The ship lifts were definitely the …

August 8, 2024,Hohensaaten-Eberswalde. Day 4 of N. German Bike and Boat Tour

Great 20 mile ride through scenic country. The highlight of the tour is a stop to check out both the old (1930) and new (2008) boat lifts which transfer boats from one body of water 36 meters higher (or lower) to the other. The Old Niderfinlow Lift was state of the art in its day and considered a technological marvel. …

May 1, 2024,Treidelweg: Eberswalde-Oderberg-Eberswalde 🪵⛵️🛶⚓️

About two years ago I cycled from Zehdenick to Eberswalde (I wasn't on Komoot at the time) on the towpath 🪵⛵️ and was thrilled.
Today I'm finally continuing. 🚴‍♀️
It's a wonderful stage to Liepe. The boat lift in Niederfinow is impressive, of course! After passing the boat lift, the path unfortunately leads along the road. I made a little …
