Finow Canal

Highlight • River

The workshop with sales room is located in a red brick house from 1887 and is located directly on the Finow Canal. Makes a very nice impression from the outside. Since the opening times vary, we recommend calling in advance.

Beautiful tour in beautiful weather with delicious ice cream and fresh strawberries 🍓

Oh, how beautiful it was. The tour to the boat lift from Finowfurt was simply beautiful. There is a perfect cycle path along the Finow Canal. The return trip along the Ober-Havel Canal was also beautiful, but it doesn't come close to the cycle path along the Finow Canal. This one is simply unbeatable. I can only recommend it! ❤️🚴‍♀️

Gravelly along the Oder-Havel Canal there, smooth return along the Finow Canal 🏞️🚴🏼‍♂️
Have a nice weekend 😎☀️
