The Trave is a river in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is approximately 124 kilometres (77??mi) long, running from its source near the village of Gie??elrade in Ostholstein to Travem??nde, where it flows into the Baltic Sea. It passes through Bad Segeberg, Bad Oldesloe, and L??beck, where it is linked to the Elbe???L??beck Canal. It is navigable for sea-going vessels from the Baltic to the L??beck ports. The Herren Tunnel crosses the Trave, as do numerous bridges, and a ferry connects Travem??nde with Priwall. Tributaries of the Trave include the Wakenitz and the Stepenitz.
