    The locks in Hünxe are part of the Wesel-Datteln Canal. The locking system of the gates is different. While the gates at the small lock open and close sideways, the gates at the large lock move up and down.
    By the way, the Wesel-Datteln Canal, like almost all canals in North Rhine-Westphalia, is fed from the Lippe.

      The lock will be closed to shipping traffic in April 2024
      like drainage. The upper and lower gates, mechanical engineering like that
      such as electrical and communications engineering will be in the following months
      puts. After completion of the work and successful trial operation
      The chamber will be opened to shipping again in spring 2025.

        There's a lot of traffic here on the canal!
        It's nice to watch the ships or boats?! pass through the lock, you can easily lose track of time.
