Braunschweig Canals
The canal systems in Germany continue to astound me.
The Mittelandcanal goes right past Braunschweig - in fact Braunschweig has a small port on it - it connects to a second canal at right angles which feeds past another area of Braunschweig.
The Mittelland canal connects from here to Hanover and out to the Rhine on the west and connects to the Elbe-Havel canal in the east, so you can essentially go from one side of Germany to the other just using the canal system, and they are not small. Very large barges travel down them.
