The Inland Waterway from Hamburg to Bremen
was made up of Hadelner-Kanal, the Bederkesa-waterway, the Elbe-Weser-Kanal and the River Geeste and went from Otterndorf at the lower Elbe to Bremerhaven at the Elbe. The lock dimensions are with 50 x 5m not attractive for transportation anymore. It became therefore a much liked short cut for sailing- and motor boats.

The allowed speed of 8km/h and the two locks would allow passing through in one day, but Bad Bederkesa offers everything for a comfortable rest. At km 40 one finds at the marina of WSV Delphin the entire necessary infrastructure.
