The landscape of the Ilmenau lowlands is wonderfully varied. It is characterized by wide meadows and pastures, which are broken up by rows of trees, scattered swamps and marsh forests. The idyllic heath river Ilmenau is a largely natural flowing water with numerous tributaries. It is by far the largest and most important body of water in the Lüneburg Heath. The Ilmenau is formed south of Uelzen from the confluence of the heath rivers Gerdau and Stederau. It meanders more or less strongly through the varied landscape until it finally flows into the Elbe at Hoopte just outside Hamburg. On these approximately 90 kilometers it flows through places such as Bad Bevensen, Bienenbüttel, Deutsch Evern and Lüneburg. North of Lüneburg the Ilmenau merges into the Ilmenau Canal and from there can only be considered to be close to nature to a limited extent.

The Lüneburg ship lift in Scharnebeck works as a double lift. Both troughs of the ship lift work independently of each other and overcome a height difference of 38 m. Four guide towers are assigned to each trough. Through the trough-like openings in these towers, the opposing ups and downs of the trough and the counterweights can be seen. The weight of a water-filled trough with a usable length of 100 m, a width of 11.80 m and a water depth of 3.40 m, with or without a ship, is always 6000 t, since the ships displace as much water from the trough as they weigh themselves when entering and leaving the trough . In the area of the towers, the troughs rest on support frames. Each trough is held by 240 steel cables, each 54 millimeters thick. These are guided over cable pulleys on the top floor of the towers and connected to the support frame at one end of the cable and to the counterweights at the other end. They consist of 224 heavy concrete slabs, each weighing around 27.2 tonnes. Each trough is powered by 4 three-phase motors, each with 160 kW, which overcome a maximum lifting height of 38 m in approx. 3 minutes. The troughs can accommodate ships up to 100 m long, which is where the first problem begins. Modern cargo or tank ships are 110 m long and push convoys are 185 m long. The troughs with a usable length of 100 m are no longer sufficient for these ships.

The huge hoist in Scharnebeck near Lüneburg lifts ships in the Elbe Lateral Canal by 38 meters. The hoist works like a gigantic elevator: In two troughs filled with water, ships traveling on the Elbe Lateral Canal are lifted from the Elbmarsch 38 meters higher into the Geest landscape of the Lüneburg Heath. The pure journey time of a trough takes three minutes, from the entrance to the exit a ship takes 20 minutes. Source: www.ndr.de/ratgeber/reise/lueneburger_heide/

Last or first lift on the Elbe Lateral Canal. Here you can see the difference in height class. Ingenious invention to enable shipping traffic on a large scale inland. Observation deck open 24 hours.

Beautiful view over the Ilmenau in the distance

The towpath. Magnificent nature.

The most beautiful cycle path in Lüneburg

Very impressive building. Here you can observe the operation of the ship lift very well.
