    The old Henrichenburg ship lift from 1899 and the new one from 1962 are only a few hundred meters apart. After visiting the boat lift, you can top off the day with a one-hour boat tour to the neighboring locks and the new lift on the Dortmund-Ems Canal in the direction of Münsterland. The guided tours for children are particularly recommended.

    Hiking

    One of the most popular destinations on the Industrial Heritage Route is the LWL Industrial Museum at the Henrichenburg ship lift in Waltrop. The imposing facility amazes even those who don't like technology. The boat lift from the turn of the century is an exciting destination, especially for children. The Henrichenburg ship lift has now been voted number 1 of the most popular industrial monuments in NRW by WDR viewers in the "Hitlists of the West".
