Kanuparkschleuse

With the excavator in the background in both directions a cool photo motif 👌😎

The cane lock is out of service during the winter months. The official season starts in April.

Immediately after the lock comes the next technical marvel. A small lift bridge on which one can partly look over the Markkleeberg lake

On the way to the start of the hike, you drive through the ship here and are "smuggled" - always an interesting thing not only for those interested in technology ...

The Kanuparkschleuse connects the Störmthaler and the Markkleeberger See, thus allowing boat traffic from one lake to the other. During the season from April to October, the lock is operated by staff. However, there are also requirement columns, so that you can initiate the smuggling process yourself as a canoeist or leisure captain.
If the operator is at the lock, you can also use the toilets here.
