The Kiel Canal reaches the sea at Kiel’s Holtenau district, linking the Baltic with the North Sea through the world’s busiest artificial waterway. Germany’s largest Baltic Sea city, Kiel has around 250,000 residents and stretches along the Kieler Förde at the mouth of the Schwentine River. About 90 kilometres northeast of Hamburg, it brings together areas of Holstein, Wagria and Southern Schleswig.
