Permanent Exhibition 'About the History of the inland water navigation on Spree and Havel'

Cultural history of inland water navigation is being presented in the cargo space of the Maßkahn (punt) RENATE-ANGELIKA. The city and surrounding area were positively influenced by the development of shipping and the well constructed waterway network. Many raw materials were transported into the city by ship and lots of bulk freight out. Transport by water and the inland water navigation still plays a big economical role in Berlin.

The little summer restaurant DECKSHAUS on the big tail-wheel-tug JESENIKY, is ideal for a rest during the summer.
