    One of the countless locks along the canal for several kilometers. Impressive technology from the past century! Many of the locks are still functional! Great especially when hiking with children.

      Old lock, which was already able to close automatically at dam break during their operating time. Interesting technique.

        The locks were used to prevent the canal from running out.
