Unterwarnow is the estuary of the Warnow River in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, northern Germany.[1] It connects with the Baltic Sea in Warnemünde. The city of Rostock is located on its banks.[2][3]
The part of the riverbed near the river mouth is deepened to allow the passage of larger vessels, it is called "the sea channel" ("Der Seekanal").[4]
