🚢 Prinses Marijkesluis – Engineering Marvel on the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal

Located near Rijswijk in Gelderland, the Prinses Marijkesluis is a significant lock complex on the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. Constructed in 1952, it comprises two lock chambers and a storm surge barrier, playing a crucial role in regulating water levels between the Waal and the Lek rivers.

The complex features an 80-meter-wide steel barrier suspended between two concrete towers, a remarkable feat of engineering. This structure not only ensures safe navigation but also protects the surrounding areas from high water levels.

For cyclists and hikers, the adjacent dike offers panoramic views of the canal and the lock's impressive architecture. It's a serene spot to observe passing vessels and appreciate Dutch water management ingenuity.

Tip: The lock is currently undergoing renovations to enhance its safety and reliability, expected to be completed by mid-2027. Visitors should be aware of possible detours or access restrictions during this period.
