The Niederfinow Ship Lift, commissioned on March 21, 1934, is the oldest operating ship lift in Germany. In Niederfinow (Barnim), the lift overcomes a height difference of 36 meters between the summit level (Lock Lehnitz to Ship Lift) and the Oder level (Ship Lift to Locks Hohensaaten) of the Havel-Oder Waterway at km 77.89.
The ship lift is a protected industrial monument. In December 2007, it received the award "Historic Monument of Engineering in Germany", presented for the first time by the Federal Chamber of Engineers.

You can drive from a canoe rental in Oderberg by boat through the boat lift and then picked up about 7 km further. Exciting! And not difficult! One should not capsize if possible. Attention: canoes tilt easily! With steamboats it works too.
