Locks Hünxe

The Hünxe lock is the second of six canal stages of the Wesel-Datteln canal at channel kilometer 13.31. It is always fun to watch a ship being smuggled and above all how fast it is. But even so it is always worthwhile to cycle along the canal.

Well, if you follow the canal to its confluence with the Rhine, you inevitably pass here. At this point the canal is well developed and you can watch the smugglers at work.

You can easily cross the Wesel-Datteln Canal here by bike and watch the locks being operated.

A very nice place to relax and let things go.

Take a break and watch a lock process.

Been there at the right time

Interesting to see how the height difference is overcome

It is interesting to watch the ships lock.

Wait for a ship and experience great technology.

The lock alone is very interesting, if a ship comes along it will be really good.
