Hadelner Canal Lock (Otterndorf Lock)

Highlight • Bridge

The channel has two functions. On the one hand it dehydrates the area around Bederkesa and on the other hand it establishes a connection between the Elbe and the Weser together with other channels. Small ships and boats can use the channel as a shortcut.

View of Hadelner Kanal

Highlight • River

The Hadeln Canal (also Hadeler or Hadler Canal) is part of the Elbe-Weser shipping route. It is about a 32 km long navigable drainage canal between the Elbe near Otterndorf and the lake near Bad Bederkesa. From there, the Bederkesa-Geeste Canal (1858-1860) continues to the Geeste and to Bremerhaven. The Hadeln Canal was built between 1852 and 1854. Today, in addition to drainage, it is primarily used by small coasters and sports boats as a shortcut between the Weser and the Elbe. (Source: Wikipedia)
