Zollkanal, Historic canal in HafenCity, Germany
The Zollkanal stretches along the northern edge of Speicherstadt, connecting the inner city with the port area through a 45-meter-wide waterway.
Constructed in the late 19th century, the Zollkanal served as a customs border between Hamburg's old town and the free port area until 2003.
The German Customs Museum near Kornhaus Bridge presents exhibitions about the evolution of customs practices from ancient times to modern day.
Multiple bridges, including the Brooksbrucke, Jungfernbrucke, and Kornhausbrucke, allow pedestrians to cross between Hamburg's old town and HafenCity.
The canal's water level changes with the Elbe River's tides, as it maintains a direct connection to the main waterway.
