Once over the lock and then back over the stone bridge to the old town, great view of the castle and the old town and bridge

Overall, the Heidelberg barrage is 170 m wide. Four flat-roofed block-like pillars support the three weir gates, each 40 m wide, and have a gradation towards the upper water, which serves as a support for the steel pedestrian walkway. On the side, in the upper corners of the pillars, small windows reveal the location of the engine room. Downstream the pillars taper slightly and end in a rectangular point.
The lock chambers, 110 m long and 12 m wide, are located on the left bank; A fish pass was inserted between the lock and weir.
