The Straubing Lock was built in 1993 as part of the Straubing Weir project to ensure the navigability of the Danube. The lock chamber is located at Danube kilometer 2322.02. With a chamber length of 264 m, it has a usable length of 230 m and a usable width of 24 m. The lock chamber is constructed of concrete and is closed at both the upper and lower gates by a double-leaf mitre gate. Each mitre gate weighs 83 t. The 14-meter-high and 12-meter-wide steel gates rest on a spherical bearing. The chamber is filled and emptied via bypass channels, each with two bypass gates at the upper and lower gates. The chamber fills in 20 minutes with a lock water volume of 44,000 m³. A lockage takes 25 minutes. The lock has a total capacity of 73,000 m³. [1] The level of the upper edge of the lock platform is 321.5 m above sea level (NN), and the level of the lower lock sill is 308.7 m above sea level (NN). For maintenance and repair work on the gates and closures, the lock is equipped with a gantry crane with a lifting capacity of 100 tons, which can be moved along the entire length of the lock. At the associated weir of the Straubing power plant, the design impoundment level is 320 m above sea level (NN). The water level of the lower lock basin is 313.75 m above sea level (NN) at mean water level (MTF) and 312.32 m above sea level (NN) at regulated low water level (RNW). The corresponding head is 6.25 meters at MTF and 7.68 meters at MTW. An information panel at the facility states the lock head as 6.21 m. The lock is remotely controlled from the WSV control center in Regensburg. This control center also remotely operates the Geisling, Regensburg, and Bad Abbach locks. Originally, the Straubing lock was operated from the lock tower on site. Immediately below the lower lock gate, the Kagers Bridge crosses the Alte Donau lock canal. The Danube's kilometer markers show a discrepancy of 7.9 kilometers at the Straubing lock. Therefore, both kilometer markers 2330 and 2322 are present at the lock basin.

Beautiful viewpoint with shelter

Beautiful trail, rideable in both directions, a must-do 😀

Pilgrimage Church of St. John Called "St. John by the Oak", the first beginnings were probably a wayside cross or a small chapel as a resting place for the carters on the old road that led from Italy across the Danube to Bohemia. In 1664 it was mentioned as a small chapel with a portable altar that had been desecrated by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War. The current church is an attractive baroque building from around 1721, very nicely situated next to a small property. The nave has three window axes and a flat ceiling. The slightly recessed choir of one bay closes off on three sides. Tuscan pilasters structure the entire room. The west gallery with a curved parapet is supported by two wooden columns. The west portal has a straight lintel. The square projecting west tower stands in the central axis; the top of its three floors has bevelled corners and a shingled onion dome. The portal vestibule has a cross vault. A beautiful frame stucco from the time the church was built has been applied to the nave ceiling. The high baroque altar dates from 1729, with two straight and two twisted columns, between them the altarpiece of the Baptism of Christ by John, created around 1670. In the elevator between volute pilasters is the image of the Immaculata, framed by acanthus carvings. The antependium has foliage carvings. The early baroque side altars were made in 1609 in the Windberg monastery and bought at auction for St. Johann in 1803. Two columns flank each shell niche. In the niches on the left are Mary with the child on a crescent moon, in the elevator St. Anne Selbdritt; on the right St. Sebastian, in the elevator St. Florian. The originals of the elevator figures were stolen in the 1960s. The confessional is a stylish baroque creation from the beginning of the 18th century. Major restorations took place in 1879, 1968 and 1985. The current organ comes from Haunkenzell and was installed in 2004. The roof structure and interior were completely restored from 2009 to 2011.

St. Joseph's Castle Chapel Built on medieval castle walls and dedicated to St. George as a castle chapel. In 1693 a new building was built in honor of the Holy Family, especially St. Joseph, with the founding of a St. Joseph's Brotherhood by Baroness Theresia von Weichs. Devastated by fire in 1807, the church was rebuilt with changes. In 1888, the tower and roof structure burned out again due to a lightning strike, and the tower was given a crenellated crown when the new building was built. In 1897, it was expanded to its current size with neo-baroque interior design. In 1967, the church was completely remodeled, with the ceiling and roof structure being renewed and the interior redesigned. From 1991 to 1993, it was renovated again, restoring the original condition and returning the late baroque altar and the figures of saints. The renovated church and the people's altar were consecrated on March 21. Source: information board

Falkenfels Castle Around 1100, the Counts of Bogen built the castle on the rock that slopes steeply on three sides. From 1232, the Knights of Hohenfels ruled the castle, and from 1400, the Falkensteiners of Falkenfels. In 1331, “Valkenfelss” is mentioned in a copy from the 15th century as a landed estate. In 1425, the castle came into the possession of the Frauenbergers and remained so until their extinction in 1480. The castle was plundered by the Hussites in 1425 and conquered by troops of Duke Albrecht IV in the Böckler War in 1468. The Frauenbergers were followed by the Paulsdorfers. In the Löwler War, the castle was besieged for a week in 1492 and burned down after the capitulation on June 8, 1492, but was then rebuilt by Hans von Paulsdorf. In 1525, the property passed to the Seyboltstorffer family through marriage. From 1607 to 1796, the noble family of Barons von Weichs owned Falkenfels Castle. In the Thirty Years' War, the castle was set on fire by the Swedes in 1641, but was then rebuilt. On April 15, 1796, Josef Maria von Weichs sold Falkenfels and the associated manorial estates to Baron Gabriel von Buchstetten for 320,000 guilders. In 1807, the castle was again burned down, but was rebuilt. After the end of the Falkenfels manorial estate, the castle economy was destroyed in 1820. In 1821, the Lang family acquired the castle and set up a brewery here, which lasted until 1934. In 1925, a fire destroyed large parts of the complex, after which it was only partially rebuilt. From 1919 to 1950, the castle belonged to the Schimmelmann family. On May 8, 1951, the furniture manufacturer Franz Xaver Baier from Straubing bought the castle and converted it into a hotel with a restaurant. The castle was also increasingly used as a conference and congress building. Since 2001, the castle has belonged to the publisher Udo Sieber. Falkenfels Castle was originally surrounded by two terraced ring walls, one above the other. Today, the fortifications are only preserved on the north side. Approximately in the middle of the east side is the keep from the 13th century, the battlements are from a later period. The baroque castle chapel of St. Joseph was built in the 17th century on medieval foundations. It contains gravestones of Falkenfels castle lords. The outer areas of Falkenfels Castle are freely accessible, otherwise it serves as a castle hotel and restaurant. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de
