Wikipedia description:

The Kiel Fjord (German: Kieler Förde) is an inlet of the Baltic Sea on the eastern side of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Beginning at the Bay of Kiel, it extends inland for about 17 kilometres (11 mi), dividing the Dänischer Wohld from Wagrien. It terminates at the Hörn, a sheet of water in the centre of Kiel. The Kiel Canal, which allows ships to pass between the North and Baltic seas without rounding Jutland, has its eastern terminus on the Kiel Fjord. At its narrowest point, the Friedrichsorter Enge, the fjord is only one kilometre wide. The river Schwentine enters the ford near Kiel-Dietrichsdorf.
