Küsten Canal, Summit level canal through Oldenburg and Cloppenburg, Germany.
The Küsten Canal extends 70 kilometers through northern Germany, connecting the Dortmund-Ems Canal with the Hunte and Weser rivers.
The canal construction started in 1922 through the expansion of a drainage channel, reaching completion in 1935 to support regional transportation needs.
The waterway earned military recognition when Canadian and Polish forces conducted strategic operations across its waters during April 1945.
The waterway maintains a depth of 3.50 meters and a bridge clearance of 4.50 meters, supporting Category IV inland vessel navigation.
The canal system incorporates a summit pound design, which enables vessels to navigate through elevated sections using specialized lock mechanisms.
