Elbe/Müritz-Elde Waterway

​

The height difference between the Müritz water system and the Elbe of approx. 49 metres is compensated by 17 locks, which are being converted into self-service locks in increasing numbers. The lockings are free of charge and the operation of the self-service locks is easy. Due to the locks, the flow is relatively low - therefore, the Müritz-Elde waterway is also well navigable upstream.

There are many rest areas and that makes short day tours possible.
