The SIlokanal is a long, almost straight canal. However, a lot of industry can be observed here and there.

The path runs directly on the dike. Easy to navigate on foot. Not ideal for cycling.

A flat gravel path leads you along the Silo Canal and allows you to marvel at the port area of Brandenburg.
