    Hiking

    "The Flaesheim locks belong - from the Rhine - to the fourth of the six canal stages of the Wesel-Datteln Canal (WDK) at canal kilometer 49.39 in Haltern-Flaesheim. The group of locks overcomes a height difference of 4.00 meters.

    The large lock is 222 meters long, 12 meters wide, designed for a draft of 2.80 meters, holds 11,500 cubic meters of filling and has lifting gates at both ends. It was built between 1928 and 1929 and officially opened in 1931 with the Wesel-Datteln Canal.

    Seen from the Rhine, the Flaesheim lock is the 4th lock on the Wesel-Datteln Canal. A height difference of 4 meters is overcome. The large lock chamber is closed by lifting gates. You don't see that every day either.
