Kieler Förde

Kieler Förde is an approximately 17km long inlet of the Baltic Sea 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 Fjord. At its narrowest point, the "Friedrichsorter Enge", the fjord is only one kilometre wide. The Schwentine enters Kieler Förde near Kiel-Dietrichsdorf.LocationsLocations along the Kieler Förde:Western shoreFrom north to south: Bülk Strande Kiel-Schilksee Falckenstein Kiel-Friedrichsort Kiel-Holtenau Kiel-Wik Kiel-Düsternbrook Kiel-Zentrum
