This lift is one of the finest technological feats of modern Belgian civil engineering. With its extraordinary dimensions, it allows new generations of boats to overcome a height difference of 73.15 meters, which makes it the largest boat lift in Europe!

Visiting this site is very interesting. On the eighth floor, a gallery leading to a cinema is devoted to the history of shipping.

Absolutely gigantic, certainly even bigger than the new ship lift in Niederfinow.
