A lovely path along the canal... You can often spot waterfowl... the only downside: the path offers little shade.

Dromedaries? While all dromedaries are camels, not all camels are dromedaries. Camels with two humps are not dromedaries (but Bactrian camels)!

The animals are very curious. Something different in the provinces ;-)

The artwork of canal herring, which move freely in the wind and thus appear to float through the air, is intended to commemorate the former importance of the Stecknitz River for Lübeck. Salt was transported along it from the Lüneburg graduation towers to Lübeck, where the herring were preserved.
