The Linden harbor lock was built as a solid shaft lock between 1906 and 1916 as part of the Mittelland canal construction and the branch canal (SKL) branching off from it. Shipping operations began in 1916. Usable chamber length 85.00 m, clear chamber width 10.00 m, lifting height at normal water level 7.70 m.

The port lock is a shaft lock with open savings basins on the side. The saving pools have an approx. 0.50 m thick clay seal, which is covered by concrete slabs.

There is a one-story pump house next to the lower head.

At the lower head there is a road bridge that also serves as a mask for the lower gate.

The lock has a hinged gate on the head, a swing gate on the lower head, cylinder gates for the two-sided saving basins and upper water inlets and roller wedge gates in the perimeter of the lower head.

The poor building fabric requires extensive repair measures, which - as far as possible - have to be carried out with ongoing operations, as there is no further water-side access to the Linden harbor.

The Linden lock was rebuilt in such a way that on-site personnel are no longer required to operate it. The Linden lock is remote-controlled from the Hanover control center (at the Anderten lock).

October 23, 2021,Trail Check am Benther Berg

Today after storm and rain checked the trails on Benther Berg. Roots are very slippery and some you can't even see because of the leaves on the trails. Be careful

On muddy trails, all mountain bikers are likely to have the problem with the brown stripes on their backs. In this regard, I once treated myself to the MudRocker, which you can quickly take off again in summer. Bike, shoes and pants look like hell after this tour, but victories there. No more brown stripes on the back 😉

So here you go. 178 meters above sea level.

Even in summer, there's sometimes still snow up here.

Joking aside, "The little hill" is definitely not to be underestimated. While you'll probably not gain any significant elevation gain here, it's not to be underestimated in terms of steepness. You should have a bit of riding technique.
