Oder–Spree Canal

The Oder-Spree Canal extends for 20 kilometers between the Dahme River at Schmöckwitz and the Oder River at Eisenhüttenstadt, crossing eastern Germany.

The canal construction concluded in 1891, establishing an essential trade route that connected Berlin with Polish territories through interconnected waterways.

The waterway forms part of a larger network through Berlin, connecting multiple urban districts while supporting both commercial navigation and recreational activities.

Multiple locks along the canal regulate water levels and facilitate vessel passage, accommodating both cargo ships and smaller recreational boats throughout the year.

The canal incorporates a section of the River Spree near Fürstenwalde, creating a natural integration between artificial and existing water systems.
