The floating quiet pole of Kiel Week.
An old but well-maintained gondola from Venice on the central waters of Kiel. A floating Rolls Royce of the Venetians who lived in gilded marble palaces...
Everyone knows the little keel and walks or drives around it again and again. He's nice to look at and home to waterfowl and fat carp.
But somehow he's always in the way when you're in a hurry.
For Kiel Week you can access the lake again for a few days from the deeply relaxed side.
So that's what he's for!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Watch out. The site plan cannot be set exactly. The curved pier in the Kleiner Kiel is located on the northwest shore next to Hiroshima Park (from the red dot to 10 a.m.). The gondola moors on red/white wooden poles. Please be on time.

Kleiner Kiel (Pass by)
On the northern shore of the lake is the Ministry of Justice (Ministry of Justice, Europe, Consumer Protection and Equality of the State of Schleswig-Holstein). The castle-like house was planned at the end of the 19th century in the style of the German Renaissance by the architect Walter Hesse.

If you start the gondola ride from the swimming jetty, the large willow trees emerge from behind the town hall tower. This imposing building is 106 meters high and you have a fantastic view over Kiel from above. It was completed 1907 - 1911 under the direction of an architect from Karlsruhe who was a Venice fan. Therefore, the tower looks very similar to the Campanile of Venice, but is 8 meters higher. Since the Venetian Campanile had fallen over completely in 1903 and was not rebuilt until April 1912, the Campanile in Kiel is now older than the Campanile in Venice. My Venetian friends don't find this story so funny.

Kiel Castle was almost completely surrounded by water until about 1850. The Kleine Kiel is part of this old side arm of the Kiel Fjord. The water depth is 1 to 2 meters and the lake bed is very muddy.
