From here you have an impressive view of this technical structure that serves two purposes. It was built in 1921 to make shipping on the Danube safer or to make it possible for large ships. Because in the rocky section beforehand it was very difficult. Since then, the lock has been damming up the water and allowing even large ships to sail safely on the Danube. The power plant's turbines also produce energy for Passau. Cycling across the lock is definitely an experience.
