The Finow [ ˈfiːnoː ] is an approximately 14 km long remnant of an originally approximately 45 km long left tributary to the Oder in northeast Brandenburg . It ends today at Finowfurt , from where the next part to Niederfinow was expanded to become the Finow Canal and given its name. There are only a few old river parts left parallel to the canal. They and the lower, partially drained, approximately 9 km long remainder to the Oder-Havel Canal near Oderberg are still called Alte Finow .
course
The Finow has its beginning west of Biesenthal in the Barnim district as an outflow of the Regesesees , whose tributaries are the Hellmühler Fliess and the Rüdnitzer Fliess . It is about 13.7 kilometers long and flows into the Finow Canal west of Finowfurt . The length of the longest flow path (with Hellmühler Fließ) is around 21 kilometers.
The watercourse from the preserved upper course and Finow Canal is also known as the Finow River , which gives the region its name for the water and soil association .
Original course
The Finow originally flowed east of Niederfinow into the Oder. After the Oder Canal was built in the middle of the 18th century, the Oder no longer flowed around the island of Neuenhagen . The Finow now flows into an oxbow lake of the Oder, which was added to the Finow after a few generations and is still called Alte Finow today. The mouth was thus on the Oderberger See (also an oxbow lake) between Liepe and Oderberg .
Its lower course was canalized between 1603 and 1620 and became part of the Finow Canal. Between the former brass works harbor and below the Heegermühler lock, parts of the first Finow Canal and the brass works ditch in the former river bed of the Finow have been preserved.
Another part of the Alte Finow has been preserved in Niederfinow south of the Finow Canal, and a longer section further east at the Liepe pumping station .
Glacial valley
The Finow leads past the Biesenthal military mill and reaches the Eberswalde glacial valley a little north of the city . As a special feature, the river uses the glacial valley against the original flow direction. It flows east; the glacial stream flowed west. The cause is the very low-lying Oderbruch , which attracted the drainage, as well as dead ice blocks in the urban area of Eberswalde , which created basins with their damming, which also diverted the river to the east.
tourism
A very well developed cycle path ( towpath ) makes it possible to follow the course of the Finow and get an impression of the landscape and nature.
