Walk along the Karl-Heine-Kanal

Whether in summer greenery, surrounded by colorful autumn leaves, ice-covered water or in the midst of a splendor of flowers - the Karl-Heine Canal is a very special highlight in the lively west of Leipzig at any time of year. The 3,3-kilometer-long canal was created artificially and invites you to take long walks along the banks, but can also be explored comfortably on a boat tour on Leipzig's waterways. Historic villas and modern industrial lofts impress on the exploration tour. Numerous quiet places offer the ideal opportunity for a short break to relax. The stairs at the Philippus Church in particular are a popular hotspot in summer to listen to the gentle rippling of the water together and admire the beauty of the canal.
