Schleuse Hakenberg

Momentan noch Baustelle, die Schleusentore werden ausgetauscht. Aber ansonsten unberührte Natur pur.

Wärterschleuse, leider war ich außerhalb der Schleusenzeiten da. Keine Bootsschleppe, Boot muss getragen oder mit eigenem Bootswagen umgesetzt werden. Überdachte Sitzgelegenheit, Infotafel und Komposttoilette sind vorhanden.

Very informative lock keeper. We arrived in our Canadian canoe just as the scheduled time for opening so decided to wait for the lock to be opened to continue with our paddle. Normally small boats portage out of the side of the canal. It turned out that we were the only ones there but the lock keeper still operated the sluices for us to carry on. I wasn't aware of how the lock operations can affect water levels up or downstream. Thanks for the important information Mr lock keeper. I will be thi King about the volumes of water being transferred next time I travel on the canal.
