The Bannetze Lock on the Aller River is a historically significant lock dating from the early 20th century and is one of the few remaining lock systems along the Aller. It is still technically functional and has been self-operated since 1999 – recreational boats can pass through it independently at the push of a button.

The lock is freely accessible and located directly on the Aller Cycle Path, making it a popular stop for cyclists. Information panels on site provide insights into the history and operation of the lock, which remains a striking technical monument in a natural setting.

It can be crossed without any problems, of course, just pay attention to the traffic lights.
