Cycling

The old Henrichenburg ship lift from 1899 and the new one from 1962 are only a few hundred meters apart. After visiting the ship lift, you can crown the day with a subsequent one-hour boat trip to the neighboring locks and the New Ship Lift on the Dortmund-Ems Canal in the direction of Münsterland. Children's tours are also particularly recommended.

One of the most popular destinations on the Industrial Heritage Route is the LWL Industrial Museum at the Henrichenburg ship lift in Waltrop. The imposing facility amazes even those who don't like technology. The boat lift from the turn of the century is an exciting destination, especially for children. The Henrichenburg ship lift has now been voted number 1 of the most popular industrial monuments in NRW by WDR viewers in the "Hitlists of the West".
