Teltow Canal at Nathan Bridge

Highlight • River

The Teltowkanalweg lives up to its name, as it almost never leaves the banks of the Teltow Canal between the Griebnitzsee and the Dahme. The navigable canal, which was built within only 6 years, should shorten the waterway between the Oder and the Elbe around 1900.

The Teltow Canal is, so to speak, an east-west connection, which is ideal not only for ships but thanks to the adjacent path for cycling away from the main roads.

Riverside path along the Teltow Canal

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

There is now a wonderful cycling and hiking path along the route of the former towing railway. The towing railways were used until the 1940s to pull Berlin barges through the canal from the bank. This avoided motorized ships that would have damaged the banks of the narrow canal.

St. Andreas Town Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The town church Sankt Andreas, whose origins go back to the 12th century, is the landmark of the town of Teltow in Brandenburg. Over the course of time, the church was severely damaged by several city fires, so that today only the masonry is from the time it was built.

October 7, 2025,Von Griebnitzsee am Teltowkanal entlang nach Teltow Stadt
The train is acting up. That's holding me back... but not stopping me from hiking... a little later. 😠

I soon reach the narrow path along the Teltow Canal through a small patch of woodland. Progress is slow, the path is partially overgrown, and the damp night doesn't make it any easier to get into the flow.
I hear voices, …

A relaxing walk for all the senses into the recent history of Berlin and the surrounding area. Today the route took me from Teltow, always following the former Berlin Wall Trail, along the Teltow Canal to the lock in Kleinmachnow, the old border crossing Drewitz Dreilinden directly to Babelsberg. There is hardly more inner-German history in a short distance. I …
