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.

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. …
