Lendkanal, Protected heritage canal in Klagenfurt, Austria
The Lendkanal extends for 4 kilometers from Lake Wörthersee to central Klagenfurt, running parallel to Tarviser Straße and Villacher Straße.
Construction of the canal began in 1527 following a city fire, initially serving to supply water for the moat and transport building materials.
The Steinerne Fischer statue at Lendhafen represents the historical regulations governing fresh fish sales from Lake Wörthersee to the city market.
Multiple bridges span the waterway, including the renovated Elisabethbrücke footbridge and the Rizzisteg, connecting different parts of Klagenfurt.
During the 16th century, Venetian gondoliers were brought to navigate the canal, which maintained a fleet of 100 freight ships for goods transportation.
