Kieler Förde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kieler Förde is an inlet of the Baltic Sea, approximately 17 km (11 mi) long, on the eastern side of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Formed by glacial movement during the last ice age, it divides Danish Wold peninsula from Wagria. Like the other inlets of förde-type, geologically it is not a fjord. It originates at the Hörn in centre-city Kiel and merges into the Bay of Kiel.
The eastern terminus of the Kiel Canal is located along Kiel Förde leading into the Port of Kiel. At its narrowest point, the "Friedrichsorter Enge", the fjord is only one kilometre wide. The river Schwentine enters Kieler Förde near Kiel-Dietrichsdorf.
