Nausdorf Canal

Nausdorfer Kanal at Nausdorf

The Nausdorf Canal (German: Nausdorfer Kanal) lies in the municipality Lenzen (Elbe), in the northwest of the German state of Brandenburg. It links two lakes – the Rambower See and the Rudower See – and runs through the Rambower Moor. It takes its name from the village Nausdorf, located midway along the canal.

The canal is about 5 km long and a maximum of 3 m wide. Its depth is about 1 m; its bed is covered with a thick layer of mud. The watercourse is not navigable. It is popular with anglers due to its large stock of whitefish.
