Stephan
April 9, 2026, View of Niegripp Lock

The Niegripp lock was opened in 1938 and replaced the Old Niegripp lock from 1872, located a little further north. The lock connects the Elbe river with the Mittelland Canal and the Elbe-Havel Canal. A special feature is that, depending on the water level of the Elbe, the passage through the lock occurs upwards or downwards in different directions.

A great park where the different tree (remains) are the eye-catchers. Something different.
