    Hiking

    The Anderten lock, formerly the Hindenburg lock, on the Mittelland Canal is a technical masterpiece.
    It was built between 1919 and 1928.
    In both 225 m long and 12 m wide basins, a height difference of 14.70 m can be overcome independently of each other.
    It is the largest lock on the Mittelland Canal.

    This lock conserves water. With each filling of the basin, only about 25% of the pumped water from the upper canal section is lost to the lower one. This is necessary because the upper canal has no natural water inflows.
