    Touring bikes with a wide handlebar cannot get over this. I think you can only get over it with a racing bike if you lift it above your head. Really tight. Take the bridge a little west of this beautiful lock.

      You can use the lock gates of the Oorgat lock to get to the other side. But with a shopping bag on hand, that will not be so easy. Sluiswachter sings a song today.

        The lock can no longer be crossed.
        The next bridge is a few hundred meters further on.

          It’s history, Edam once was a harbour for cargo vessels going to and returning from the Far East.

            beautiful very old lock to see the water level, you can also cross to the other side to go up the dike and towards the beach restaurant with nice terrace on the IJselmeer.

              With a bit of fiddling you can also cross here with your bike. Tip: put it upright on your back wheel, then you can get past it the easiest
