A large lock on the Moselle at Koenigmacker. Very interesting if you are lucky enough to arrive at the same time as one of the large river barges is passing through.

🚢 **Koenigsmacker Lock – Technology Meets Landscape**
The **Koenigsmacker Lock** is a large lock on the Moselle near the Luxembourg border. Here, cargo ships negotiate the difference in elevation of the canalized Moselle – a fascinating spectacle of water, steel, and precise control.
The lock area is easily visible and is nestled between green spaces, a bike path, and the banks of the Moselle.
**Tip:** Watch a ship being locked up close – especially exciting for technology fans and families. Mornings or late afternoons are often the busiest times.
