Although the lock is particularly important for water sports enthusiasts, a visit to the structure is also a real experience for other guests.
The sea lock in Hooksiel connects the North Sea with the tide-independent Hooksmeer. There is a wide range of activities for water sports enthusiasts here: the water ski lift and a surfing school are just a few of them. The Hooksiel Marina is also located there. In order for the boats to reach the marina from the North Sea, they have to go through a lock.

The water level is raised or lowered in the lock chamber so that the pleasure boats and smaller ships can overcome the different water levels of the North Sea and the Hooksmeer. The impressive process can best be observed from the seats to the side of the bascule bridge. During a lock, the bridge is folded up so that the sailing boats with their masts can also pass through the structure. The process is particularly exciting when there are many boats in the lock chamber at the same time.

The lock connects the North Sea with the tide-independent Hooksmeer. Absolutely worth seeing when many boats want to enter the lock chamber!

When the weather is nice, you can watch large and small ships and boats. It is also nice when there is time for locks, then you can watch the sailor directly.
