The Kostheim barrage is accessible, i.e. a kind of bicycle and pedestrian bridge between the southern and northern banks of the Main. The crossing is impressive. In addition to the views of the Main and the lock, you can see the rushing masses of water from above. On the north side is a migration corridor for ascending fish.

Always nice to watch when a ship is in the lock.
