    One of seven locks on the Rhine-Herne Canal. Until 1967, the then non-self-propelled barges were decoupled from the canal tug and pulled by a tow locomotive through the lock chamber. The locks were needed to overcome the height differences of the canal. The lock process is always fascinating.

      It's very pretty on the canal, it's always nice to see the locks being closed

        A beer trolley and seating have recently been added. It remains to be seen whether it will become established. On my tour today I drank a cyclist there. It was nice and cold ;-)
