View of Niederoderbruch and Niederfinow Ship Lift from Liebenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice way from Hohenfinow with fantastic views of the Niederoderbruch. The descent is a bit adventurous, but it's well worth the effort!

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.

February 28, 2023,Natur und Technik – Runde durch das Niederoderbruch mit Abstecher zu den Schiffshebewerken Niederfinow (RB Niederfinow – RB Niederfinow)

The shortest way to the ship lifts on the Oder-Havel canal is via the Niederfinow lift bridge. But it is certainly nicer on the banks of the idyllic Finow Canal, where hikers rarely go, at least in winter. The mallards and wild geese, which have always made themselves comfortable on the grassy dyke, are audibly less than happy when they …

Many thanks to @Hans Wurst - Das Original, whose footsteps we followed today (however, he started in Eberswalde and thus came to 29 km).

It was a nice tour that we really enjoyed. Wide view, "mountains" and deer in the distance, lush green meadows, the birds celebrated spring with us, the calves looked curiously out at the world, storks and …

April 27, 2023,Kleine Niederoderbruch-Runde um Niederfinow mit Liebenstein-Aussicht (RB-Niederfinow - RB-Niederfinow)

... today's shorter hike with very changeable cloud cover was one that I had been planning for ages and had somehow 'forgotten' to do over the years. Maybe because I already knew two thirds of the route and I was only missing the section along the Freienwalder Landgraben in the middle part. In retrospect, I would describe this route - …

This tour is flat and easy to walk - the landscape is interesting and beautiful to look at.
I passed through two districts - Barnim and Märkisch Oderland.
There were lots of birds to spot along the way: grey herons, wild geese, etc. - it was quite loud chattering at times. 😉

Truly a designated classic! Most of the time, this circular route leads through the Niederoderbruch nature reserve and is particularly impressive because of the wonderful views. If you follow it clockwise, you first walk over the grassy dike of the Finow Canal to the Niederfinow ship lift.

The text for the hike comes from Fold Giant. Our thanks for the beautiful tour template go to Victoria, who made us curious with her hike on June 12, 2021 and above all with her description (komoot.de/tour/390587253).

This very scenic hike (recorded on Saturday, September 25, 2021) essentially encompassed the Niederoderbruch nature reserve. It led - starting from Niederfinow - …

Day 2 Valentine's Challenge
... combined with Mammut2.0 and a tour through the snowy Oderbruch.
We started at the Niederfinow boat lift and walked along the Finow Canal to the customs house, a house of oddities that belongs to a former local council member. His neighbors are boring and apparently annoyed about his exhibition. The hiker is happy about it.

July 1, 2023,Lieper Schleuse – Schiffshebewerk Runde von Hohenfinow

A wonderful tour. I started in Liebenstein, past an ostrich farm with a small farm shop selling ostrich feather dusters, eggs and other things. After 10 minutes I had a wonderful view of the Niederoderbruch valley and the ship lifts.
Otherwise, the path was almost exclusively on gravel or concrete paths with a great view, minimal traffic from hikers, cyclists, …
