Karl-Heine-Kanal
In the west of Leipzig, the Karl-Heine Canal is an artificial waterway that runs through the city and connects the Lindenau harbor with the White Elster. The canal is spanned by a total of 3,3 bridges along the 15-kilometer stretch of water. During the warmer seasons, the waterway can be navigated with small boats, which can be rented from the Leipzig city harbor, among other places, but also from numerous other places.
On a trip on the Karl-Heine Canal, water travelers can see not only the bridges but also former industrial architecture with artistic facades. Via the connection to the White Elster, you can reach the Leipzig New Lake District by boat.
