The Kiel Canal is a 61 mile long fresh water canal in Germany. We saved about 250 miles of travel by going through the canal instead of going around Germany. It takes about a day to go through and we pass two locks (one at the beginning and one at the end). While the ship did not really get elevated too much in the locks (I hear that the Panama lock is much more dramatic!), it was still a beautiful sight to see. The passing ships, evening sunsets, German countryside and bird watching were really beautiful, definitely one of my favorite parts of the trip so far. Enjoy the photos!
