Elbe Lateral Canal

Highlight • Structure

Most recently, the channel was completely frozen in 2012. Ice breakers had tried for days to keep the shipping lane free, in vain!

Lake Tankum

Highlight • Lake

Very beautiful lake with all water sports and park-like sunbathing areas. Here you can spend the day well or just great for passing through.

Highlight • Lake

The round (approx. 4.5 km) around the Tankumsee can be extended at any time as you can easily walk along the Elbe Lateral Canal. There are always tunnels to walk back on the other bank.
