The Erlangen lock was built between May 1967 and July 1970 as part of the construction of the Main-Danube Canal federal waterway and was inaugurated on October 30, 1970.[4] Since it is dilapidated, the new building has been planned since 2014 while operations continue.[5] It is designed as a savings lock with three savings basins west of the lock basin.

From here you have a good view towards Forchheim and can continue perfectly along the numerous small paths/trails
