I live close to one of the oldest canals in Europe, the Finow Canal. It connects the Oder with the Havel and was constructed in 1605. The water locks are still operational but commercial freight has moved to the much larger and newer Oder-Havel Canal. The old canal now has a bike path along most of the way, a very nice bicycle trip through the countryside north of Berlin. Also there are beavers and kingfishers :) Edit: also this of course, on the Oder-Havel Canal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niederfinow_Boat_Lift https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niederfinow_Boat_Lift
