The Schwedt/Oder Lock is located in the Schwedt Crossing and is a chamber lock. It balances the water level between the Oder and the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthal Waterway. The lock was put into operation in 1924. The lock is of central importance to the icebreaker concept of the Eberswalde Waterways and Shipping Authority: it must be operational even during the winter months. For these reasons, the lock system underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2001. Source: reiseland-brandenburg.de

Very good fishing spot. The way along to the Oder is worthwhile and can be easily cycled.

Beautiful old lock. Quiet at the end of June. Seen and heard many species of birds, especially on the 'Polish' (eastern) side of the Oder. Also lots of flowers. Also enjoyed the peace and vastness.
