Yacht-Liegestelle Holtenau Marina

Yacht-Liegestelle Holtenau sits right at the entrance to the Kiel Canal, tucked alongside the historic old locks where the waterway meets the Kiel Inner Fjord — about as storied a location as you'll find in northern Germany. It's a no-frills mooring spot, so don't come expecting showers or a chandlery; the draw here is purely the setting and the constant procession of ships passing through one of the world's busiest canals.
