    Here the ships are raised or lowered about 6,50m depending on the direction of travel.
    It is interesting to observe the ships at entry or exit.

        A lock – more precisely a ship lock or shipping lock – is a waterway engineering structure that connects waterways with different water levels. On rivers, they are used to overcome barrages and, in the case of canal construction, to cope with differences in height in the terrain. The central component is the lock chamber, in which the ships are raised or lowered while floating in a vertical direction. For this purpose, water is filled into the chamber or drained from the chamber in order to reach the other water level. These structures, known as chamber locks, enable watercraft to navigate the waterways without interruption.
