Neukölln Explorer
Who wants to see more? We recommend an exciting round trip over the canals through Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Treptow: Via the Oberschleuse into the calm fairway of the Landwehr Canal, advance into the city, through densely populated residential areas, resting at riverside meadows and garden cafés, picnicking or simply lingering. Left into the Neukölln shipping canal, initially quiet and almost untravelled, but then dare the expedition into Berlin's rough backside, forward to Neukölln Unterhafen, past the backyards of industry and commerce that can only be seen from the water side. Giant cranes, bizarre skeletons of unknown machines, crushing scrap, monuments of power. Locking again: the adventure of Neukölln's self-service lock. Glide silently on under thundering motorway bridges, then listen to the silence again in the green no-man's land of the Britzer Verbindungskanal, experience a unique urban beyond, everything opens back onto the expanse of the Spree.
