The old trip begins with the Bolter Canal , which had a lock in the area of ​​the Bolter Mühle , but which was filled in on the east bank of the Müritz. Next close Caarpsee , Woterfitzsee , Leppinsee , Moessel that Kotzower lakes that Granzower Möschen and Lake Mirow on.

The level difference was overcome by the Bolter Mühle lock in the Bolter Canal . Today the lock has fallen into disrepair, the Alte Fahrt can only be navigated by canoes , whereby the former lock has to be moved.

The Alte Fahrt is closed to motorboats from the south. However, residents are allowed to drive from Lake Mirower to Granzower Möschen. An exemption also applies to passenger shipping.

Alte Fahrt is also a general term for a formerly navigable body of water that is no longer released for shipping.
