Wooden Bridge Over the Elbe-Lübeck Canal

Highlight • Bridge

If you go from Berkenthin past the sewage treatment plant, you will pass through a small forest over this small wooden bridge to the Elbe-Lübeck canal. Before that, you also passed a pasture with Highland cattle. Sometimes you see calves as well.

Dicker Hering Rest Area

There are nice places to rest at and near the Berkenthin lock. There are only a few benches along the canal between Krummesse and Berkenthin.
