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.

March 30, 2024,Treidelweg von Finowfurt zum Schiffshebewerk und zurück.

Leisurely bike tour from the Finowfurt rafting area along the Finow Canal to the new and old ship lift. The towpath with its historic industrial facilities such as a power plant, paper factory and iron splitter is worth seeing and bears witness to the former economic power of this region. There was a lot of activity in the family park …

☀️🚴 ♀️🚴 ♂️ The beautiful weather and spring called us to our favorite tour of Brandenburg. And we were not disappointed. The almond trees were still in bloom
, lilac and Japanese apple were in full bloom. Both boat lifts gleamed in the sun. It's a good thing that we left early in the morning this time, because the towpath …

Unfortunately it was still not possible to cross the canal at Liepe due to construction work.

Once there and back via the boat lift.
A short tour - always along the towpath along the Finow Canal. Hardly any inclines, but lots of other cyclists. If you prefer a quieter ride, you should avoid Sunday if possible. The scenery is very beautiful. In some places the path on the dike (?) is a bit narrow.

November 16, 2024,Von Eberswalde zum Schiffshebewerk Niederfinow und zurück

Wetter.com had promised two hours of sun for today. But I didn't see it. Nevertheless, I started with the RB 24 from Schönefeld to Eberswalde (~1h). This time heading east along the Finow Canal to the old and new boat lift to Niederfinow. Very good cycle path, asphalted, sometimes a bit narrow. If there is oncoming traffic, you have to …

A must-do for us.
At least once a year, we travel along the Finow Canal to Niederfinow and the boat lift. It's beautiful. The trip mostly follows the canal and is pleasant even in high temperatures.
