MS World Peace
The MS Weltfrieden cruises leisurely along the waterways, allowing guests to marvel at the wonderful industrial architecture of western Leipzig. The steadfast barge has been sailing the waters of the Leipzig region since 1945. Initially, the MS Weltfrieden served as an excursion steamer on the Auensee. After reunification, the future of the Iron Lady initially looked uncertain. In 1998, however, she made her second maiden voyage on the Karl Heine Canal, where she has found a home to this day. The round trips depart from the Stelzenhaus several times a day at the weekend and last 80 minutes each. But the MS Weltfrieden also sets sail on weekdays for booked charter trips. While you cruise along at a leisurely pace, Captain Martin Schulte provides lots of interesting information about the sights along the shore, which are particularly easy to discover from the water.
