On the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal one is always “in touch” with the huge Ocean Cruisers.

It is the quick link between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. It is a major canal in the true sense of the word. This can’t stop thousands of leisure boats to navigate this impressively scenic waterway since it can be managed in one day. Great care must be taken, however, as it is also heavily used by commercial shipping.
