Niederfinow : Ship Lifter
I was in Berlin for Training for Traniner (ToT) in Photojournalism in IIJB. I got a chance to visit Neiderfinow. It was around 50 kilometer far from Berlin.
2009 was diamond jubilee of Niederfinow. It was amazing giant steel structure like a heavy industry.

Actually it was ship lifter . I am a citizen of landlocked country, ship would be interesting thing for me and it was ship lifter ...amazing.
It has been running to its full capacity about 11,000 ships passing through each year. It is also popular destination for tourists. About 500,000 tourists visit every year.
