    This lock was built between May 1967 and June 1970 and was inaugurated in October 1970. It was built as part of the Main - Danube - Canal federal waterway.

    Easy to reach by bike or on foot. Suitable for a short rest and with a bit of luck you can watch the shipping traffic

    The Europakanal near Erlangen was built between 1967 and 1970. This means that the lock between Erlangen and Möhrendorf is already well over 50 years old. Still an ugly concrete building! But now a new lock is to be built next to it and the old one to be demolished - a huge project, very controversial, very expensive.
    My personal opinion is that with so few ships going through there now, it's no longer worth it. But you can't leave it like that. Difficult topic.
    But it's still always a highlight when you're there and a ship is being "locked".
