Length: 26 km

Experience the fascinating blend of history and nature on a bike tour along the Finow Canal. On this excursion, you’ll learn more about the region’s impressive industrial past. This is where Brandenburg-Prussian industry began over 400 years ago—with knife smiths, iron, sheet metal, and wire hammers that laid the foundation for a turbulent economic history. Today, industry along the Finow Canal has almost entirely disappeared. However, exciting reminders of times past await you along the canal. Information panels invite you to immerse yourself in an era when this place was still loud, bustling, and full of life.
