Paddle Route Werbellinkanal: Werbellinsee

On the Werbellin Canal to Lake Werbellin Route: Marienwerder (yacht harbour) - Pechsteinsee - Rosenbeck lock - Eichhorst lock - Askanierturm tower and bridge - Werbellinsee - "Süßer Winkel" restaurant and campsite Nature of the route: The two locks are operated automatically. Their operation is easy to understand even for the layman and is also well described. There is no significant current. Thanks to the dense tree cover along the canal, even strong winds have little effect on the "well-being" of smaller boats. Tour description: With its two barrages, the Rosenbeck and Eichhorst locks, the Werbellin Canal connects Lake Werbellin with the Finow Canal. Built in 1765, the canal became necessary when the increasing volume of traffic on the Finow Canal dramatically increased the demand for water and water became scarce in the Havel region. Today, the canal is an Eldorado for leisure captains. From kayaks to yachts, everything is represented and you are rarely travelling alone. Passing through the locks is no problem even for amateurs. Both locks are operated automatically. There are mooring and refreshment facilities in Eichhorst and at the 'Süßer Winkel' campsite on Lake Werbellin. There are bathing facilities at the Rosenbeck lock pond and at the campsite on Lake Werbellin. Boats can also be hired in Marienwerder and at the 'Süßer Winkel' campsite on Lake Werbellin. For a small fee, you can park and launch your own boat at the Marienwerder marina.
