The Berlin Wall Trail is a great bike tour for anyone interested in the history of Berlin and the Berlin Wall. The path leads along the former border that divided the city in two from 1961 to 1989. While there are countless information signs and works of art to be found along the way that are reminiscent of the past, the trail also offers a glimpse of Berlin's present. On the way you can, for example, cycle through the districts of Kreuzberg and Neukölln and experience the pulsating life of the city.

When you see the trees standing in the water, you have the feeling of being in another world or another time.

The assumed beginning of the actual Oder-Havel Canal is today's mouth of the Oranienburger Havel. It leads through the Lehnitzsee, which previously did not belong to the Havel, and reaches the Lehnitz lock. The canal continues for the most part following the earlier Malzer Canal and then replaces the older Finow Canal up to its eastern end. Today's Havel-Oder waterway is essentially the waterway from Plötzensee to Hohensaaten that was opened on June 17, 1914 under the name Großschiffahrtsweg Berlin – Stettin.
