The lock has automatic operation and is open from 7.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Motor boats and paddlers can initiate the lock passage themselves by operating a blue lever on the right edge without having to get out. Depending on the position of the lock, the process takes around 10 to 15 minutes.

Self-service lock, through which you can get through quickly.
The bad thing is that you (officially) cannot go ashore from the jetties.

What makes this lock special is its automatic operation. Motor boaters and paddlers will appreciate the convenient self-service. With a simple pull on the blue lever on the right edge, without even having to set foot on land, you start the lock process. While the water masses gently rise or fall, you can pause and enjoy the moment, watching how nature unfolds in the interplay with technology. Within just 10 to 15 minutes, the gates open again, clearing the way for further adventures.A small downer may be that the official jetties do not allow shore leave. But this detail pales in comparison to the fascination that the Beeskow lock exudes. It is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a place where you can feel the constant flow of life as you glide along Beeskow's waterways. A must for any hiking guide who wants to reveal the hidden wonders of this region.
