• Short-term restrictions

    • 13.10. – 01.11.2026 | Landwehr Canal

      Due to construction work on the Landwehr Canal, our bridge tour (Tour C1) will operate on a modified route from 13 October 2026 to 1 November 2026. During this period, the Landwehr Canal will not be navigated.

      The alternative route takes you through the city centre, including the Berlin-Spandau Shipping Canal, passing the Government District and Museum Island before proceeding through the Mühlendamm Lock towards the Oberbaum Bridge. The boat will turn around here and return to the starting point at Jannowitzbrücke.

      The tour will continue to be accompanied by a live guide.

Accessibility

For many people, barrier-free everyday life is an important part of their quality of life. We would like to contribute to this by enabling people with limited mobility to travel on our ships. Since our ships rotate during operation, we ask that you contact us before planning a tour.

This way, we can plan a suitable tour together, discuss the general conditions, and inform you of any last-minute changes to the ship’s operations. Do you have suggestions for improvement? Please feel free to write to us. We welcome constructive suggestions: info@sternundkreis.de
