Lindenthaler Kanal, Artificial canal in Lindenthal district, Cologne, Germany.
The Lindenthaler Kanal extends three kilometers through Cologne, featuring landscaped banks and parallel walking paths lined with chestnut and maple trees.
Fritz Encke implemented the canal's design in 1925, following Fritz Schumacher's general development plan created between 1920 and 1923.
The Rautenstrauch section begins with a round water basin decorated by sculptures of Centaur and Naiad, created in 1930.
The canal connects the inner and outer green belts of Cologne, providing routes for walking, cycling, and various recreational activities.
The waterway harbors diverse wildlife including fish, Canadian geese, and coots, while formerly resident swans were relocated to Decksteiner Lake in 2018.
