It's very difficult for paddlers to portage here. There's no trolley. We portaged the boat and placed it in the overflow channel below the weir. However, it was very difficult to reach and arduous.

Paddlers are allowed to pass the motorboats and park at the lock entrance. The lock operator will then signal when they are permitted to enter.

As of July 19, 2025! If there are no construction workers around, you can already cross the new bridge without any major problems. However, a slightly larger drop might pose a bit of a challenge for older people with heavy e-bikes!

Gasthaus zum Löwen at the Strasen lock. Top-notch food, good beer, and accessible from the water.

The road from Vipperow to Bollewick is absolutely unsuitable for cycling! Cars whizz past you at 100 km. And at the crossing of the Bundestrasse it is DEATHLY DANGEROUS! Absolutely irresponsible that Mecklenburger Radtour sends you there.

A beautiful little church. Right next door is a village museum—the old fire station—and an information board about the village's history.

The lock is part of the Rheinsberg Waterways. It is located between the Kleiner Pälitzsee and the Großer Prebelowsee. The lock was built from 1876 to 1881 according to the Finow standard and replaced by a new one in 1968. The waiting areas for pleasure craft in the upper and lower waters were extensively renovated in 2015. With over 35,000 passages per year, it is one of the most frequently used pleasure craft locks in Germany. The lock is a self-service lock. The Waterways and Shipping Authority in Eberswalde is responsible for its operation. https://www.reiseland-brandenburg.de/poi/ruppiner-seenland/schleusen/schleuse-wolfsbruch-kleinzerlang/
