Berlin Canal "Landwehrkanal" freezes after a month of sub zero temperatures, originally uploaded by joaobambu.
Berlin residents walk ontop of the frozen Landwehrkanal. The Landwehrkanal is a 10 km long canal parallel to the Spree river in Berlin, Germany, built between 1845 and 1850 according to plans by Peter Joseph Lennè].
It connects the upper part of the Spree at the Osthafen (Eastern Harbour) in Friedrichshain with its lower part in Charlottenburg, flowing through Kreuzberg and Tiergarten.
Today the waterway is mainly used by tourist boats and pleasure crafts. In Kreuzberg a long part of the Landwehrkanal is accompanied by the U1 line of the Berlin U-Bahn, which runs here as an elevated railway.
