Hohenwarthe Lock on the Mittelland Canal

Highlight • Structure

An impressive double lock, it closes the eastern section of the Mittelland Canal to the east and serves to overcome the different water levels between the Mittelland Canal and the Elbe-Havel Canal, which begins 200 m further east.

Old Niegripp lock on the Ihle Canal (Old Niegripper Canal)
An old lock system, unfortunately only remains.
This was the first connection between the Elbe and the Elbe-Havel Canal.
But interesting.

September 20, 2021,auf dem Elberadweg von Güsen nach Magdeburg (Sachsen-Anhalt)

Nice tour on the Elbe cycle path with mostly a very good surface. There is only a small section on slabs on an old dike section and a section on a field / forest path on the old canal in Niegripp.
Particularly impressive - the waterway cross near Hohenwarthe and the historic buildings in Magdeburg.
We have always stayed on …
