Always worth a bike tour... or even on foot... the Kiel Canal is always an experience.

A museum is always a good idea, in a historic location.

After the construction of the Kiel Canal, the new inland port on the canal replaced the "Old Port". However, it remained the home port for fishing boats for a long time. These later sought out other ports, including Büsum, Friedrichskoog and Cuxhaven. Since 1968, the image of the "Old Port" has been dominated exclusively by sailing and motor boats. The constantly growing fleet of pleasure boats brought new life to the "Old Port". https://www.echt-dithmarschen.de/typisch/poi/alter-hafen-brunsbuettel
