Whenever we drove through one of these "garden locks" that had been beautifully decorated, planted and the grass cut to golf course level, our hearts would melt.
The lock keeper's houses are almost always specially decorated.

Highlight • Other

It is nice to see that it is possible to carry out such renovations and continue to preserve the landscape and a culture.
It also shows that there is money here and that people have the opportunity to earn money.
