The canal – completed in 1923 – spans 1,140 meters in length and a sightseeing highlight.

Along the canal, a promenade and stone brick warehouses stand seeming nostalgic.

Once dusk settles in, a romantic fairy-tale-like scene emerges as the promenade and brick warehouses come to life from the warm glow of gas lamps.

Nowadays, the warehouses are filled with shops and restaurants.
