    If you drive along the canal, you pass the bridge

    Here the railway line leads from Sande to Wilhelmshaven over the Ems-Jade-Kanal. In addition, here is the entry point for the bike path along the canal from Mariensiel to Sanderbusch and on.

    A bascule bridge, also known as a bascule bridge, is a movable bridge that crosses other traffic routes - often shipping routes - that only occasionally require greater clearance. The movable part of the supporting structure (the flap) is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis and balanced with the rear rods located under the fixed part of the bridge. The bascule bridge is easier to move than the drawbridge, since only the frictional resistance of the engine (e.g. hand winch and pull chain or rope) has to be overcome.
