Tips
The historic barrier on the old drive is worth experiencing the history of technology on the canal. The rough mechanics of the large sprockets and their chain drive are worth seeing. The door is moved using the hand cranks installed on the side on a large wheel, which is connected to a gearbox.

A tour along the Alte Fahrt can only be recommended, a really beautiful piece of nature that is simply worth preserving.

Nice route under old trees. Lock very interesting when a ship enters.
