Kiel is the capital of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and is a traditional maritime and naval city. This panoramic driving tour offers an excellent overview of the port city of Kiel and the surrounding countryside.
Pass the famous Town Hall, Kiel Fjord and the impressive Kiel Canal — the world's busiest artificial waterway, connecting the North Sea with the Baltic. Enjoy a 30-minute stop at the Kiel-Holtenau locks. The observation deck there gives you a direct view of the new lock. Interpretive panels offer additional information on the Kiel Canal and canal shipping.
Kiel has the reputation of being the unofficial world capital of sailing since the city hosted the Olympic sailing competitions in 1936 and 1972.
Your drive will take you through Schilksee, where the Olympic Games took place. If you get off the coach, you may see sailboats evoking the colorful spectacle of the Olympics.
Notes:
Tour requires around 400 meters of walking. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, and steps. The tour otherwise consists of panoramic sightseeing from the motorcoach. Bring local currency or credit cards, as most vendors do not accept US dollars. Use of public restroom facilities costs 50 cents - €1 cash. Shops are closed on Sundays and holidays; a few souvenir shops may be open.
