Gnevsdorfer Vorfluter

The Gnevsdorfer Vorfluter flows out here. It primarily serves to regulate the water level between the Elbe and the Havel, but is also an alternative waterway for pleasure boats to the Lower Havel Waterway (UHW). As a state waterway of the state of Brandenburg, it runs parallel to the Elbe for approx. 11 km. The following mun-ding section of the Havel is a federal waterway and joins the UHW at Havelberg.

During the damming period (in case of prolonged drought) the water depth above sandbanks can drop below 1m. In this case you should not leave the buoyed fairways and be aware of the sometimes strong currents. Please inform yourself at the lock Gnevsdorf.
