View of Ships on the Kiel Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here, just down the road, you can get right to the Kiel Canal. It's popular with anglers. The cycle and pedestrian path along the Kiel Canal also begins here. It's a great spot for boat watching.

Relaxed tour along the Kiel Canal from Landwehr to Kiel Holtenau. After crossing with the Landwehr ferry, the first section began on the north side of the Kiel Canal. At the Levensau high bridge, the path along the Kiel Canal is closed. After circling the former helicopter landing pad of the Marinefliegergeschwader 5, we took the Holtenau ferry "ADLER I" …

I come to today's tour on the NOK.
Friends of ours wanted to do a nice little NOK tour with us. This would also have been 👍 great if it wasn't for the construction site at the Levensauer Hochbrücke. 👎No reasonable signage for diversion or no signs. The construction workers there couldn't help either (some of them didn't come from …

Since the route on both sides under the canal bridge "B76" will remain closed for the foreseeable future, my route north of the N.O.K. is not recommended, as on certain sections the bike must be pushed along narrow paths!

From Landwehr we drove along the fast lane from the NOK to the locks at Pötte kieken. Some pots came towards us and we overtook others with the highest permitted speed of 15 km / h or 12 km / h on the NOK. In the Kiel shoe box (ADLER I) we passed the Kiel Canal from Kiel-Holtenau to Kiel-Wik …
