Very nice tour on good paths, a part directly on the water, at the destination, the fat Berta 🗼 is a small restaurant "Zur Schleuse" where you can watch the big pots 🛳 pass by with a legga fish sandwich and a cool beer 🍺. Ideal for a little break, coffee ☕ and cake 🍰 are also available there.

For a small fee of €7.50, the guide told us interesting things about the history of the HAPAG-Hallen, emigration, and the beginning of cruising for more than 2 hours. …
