🚢 **Koenigsmacker Lock – Technology Meets Landscape** The **Koenigsmacker Lock** is a large lock on the Moselle near the Luxembourg border. Here, cargo ships negotiate the difference in elevation of the canalized Moselle – a fascinating spectacle of water, steel, and precise control. The lock area is easily visible and is nestled between green spaces, a bike path, and the banks of the Moselle. **Tip:** Watch a ship being locked up close – especially exciting for technology fans and families. Mornings or late afternoons are often the busiest times.

The road is superbly paved and therefore a great ride. But be careful, some of the bends are tight and blind!
