    Tips

    August 23, 2021

    The Garwitz lock is one of 17 locks on the Müritz-Elde waterway and, like all others, serves to overcome the height difference between the Elbe and Plauer See.

    The lock has sloping walls. This creates a deceptive width of almost 8 meters at the headwater. However, this must not be fully used under any circumstances, otherwise there is a risk of shipwreck when being smuggled down. The usable width there is only 6.60 meters.

    In addition, it should be noted that the road bridge is located directly above the lock. Mooring directly below the bridge when sluicing up can be life-threatening, as you will be trapped under the bridge with the boat.
    So far, no accidents in the lock due to the difficult conditions have become known.
