    a barrage with lock

      It consists of a double lock on the right bank, a three-span weir, and a hydroelectric power station on the left bank. The facility was originally built in the 1930s and later modernized to optimize lock operation and energy generation.

      A special highlight is the lock and weir bridge, which offers wonderful views of the Neckar River and the surrounding area. However, you should be free from vertigo, as the bridge is made of gratings that allow you to look directly into the depths.

        The Guttenbach Lock is an interesting point on the hike. It provides boat traffic on the Neckar and offers beautiful views of the river. The area around the lock is quiet and idyllic—ideal for a short break to marvel at the lock's technology and enjoy nature.
