Many of these locks are located on the connecting canals of the small lakes. In summer, when things are busy, you can easily observe the hustle and bustle
The construction of the canal between 1876 and 1881 required a lock to cover the difference in height between the Rheinsberg waters and the Mecklenburg lakes. This is how the Wolfsbruch lock was created at kilometer 2.37 in the Rheinsberg waters. The lock keeper works manually. The length of the lock chamber is 42.6 m and the width is 5.2 m. Depending on the current water level, the lock lift is 0.4 m.
With around 35,000 passages per season, it is one of the most frequently visited pleasure boat locks.
