Dahmer channel
The Dahmer Canal is an artificially created waterway in the valley of the Westpeene between the Malchiner See and the town of Malchin in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
The canal , which was completed in 1876 on the initiative of the then sugar factory in Dahmen , is now the main outflow of Lake Malchin and flows into the Peene Canal north of Malchin . It is around 7.5 kilometers long and runs almost in a straight line in a north-easterly direction, before taking a south -easterly course in the north of the city for a short stretch parallel to the railway line between Güstrow and Neubrandenburg .
The Dahmer Canal can no longer be used for inland navigation , but is used not only by anglers but also for water hikes , as it, together with the Peene Canal, enables access by canoe from Lake Kummerow to Lake Malchiner.
