Great trail even without an MTB. Might be used by many hikers in summer or during the season, then it might get tricky.

Apparently renewed. You still have to push over it, but it's comfortable.

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.

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

The bridges over the Hüttenkanal all have a similar construction. Old fieldstone bridge foundations can still be found on the southern bank. A beautiful single trail begins here on the northern bank, leading west to the Wolfsbruch lock.
