Elbe–Lübeck Canal

Waterway in northern Germany

The Elbe–Lübeck Canal (German: Elbe-Lübeck-Kanal, pronounced [ɛlbəˈlyːbɛkkaˌnaːl] ; also known as the Elbe–Trave Canal) is an artificial waterway in eastern Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It connects the rivers Elbe and Trave, creating an inland water route across the drainage divide from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea. The canal includes seven locks and runs for a length of 64 kilometres (40 mi) between the cities of Lübeck in the north and Lauenburg in the south by way of the Mölln lakes.
