Impressive structure on the Neckar River. Many meters of altitude difference are overcome here for ships. As of 2021: The walls of the right lock chamber are currently being renovated. Construction will continue here until approx. 2022. Therefore, the path from here to Heidelberg is closed. There is a detour.

There is something meditative about watching the ships ascend and descend. This is so slow and yet the water shoots out of the lock during lowering with tremendous pressure.
