    Historical ship lift

    The Prussian eagle has been emblazoned high above the Dortmund-Ems Canal on the imposing towers of the Henrichenburg ship lift in Waltrop for 120 years. To this day, the steel elevator for ships has lost none of its fascination. It was built to overcome a 14 meter high canal step. The plant was in operation for more than 60 years. Today the landmark is a popular destination with a water playground and boat tours. It offers a variety of opportunities to explore life and work on the water.

      The boat lift is a great museum. The tours are interesting and everything is explained well.
