⚙️Engineering on the Water The Hase lifting bridge in Meppen is a fascinating example of engineering. It's a crucial junction where the Hase River and the Dortmund-Ems Canal meet. If you're lucky, you might witness the massive roadway section being raised to allow a ship to pass – a truly spectacular sight.
