Kiel Fjord

Kiel Fjord

Kiel Fjord ( _de. Kieler Förde; _da. Kielerfjorden) is an approximately 17 km long fjord or firth of the Baltic Sea along the shores of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Formed by glacial movement during the last Ice Age, it lies between the Danish Wold and Wagria. 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 Kiel Fjord near Dietrichsdorf.
