Anderten Lock (Schleuse Anderten)

Highlight • Structure

You used to be able to go into the yard and watch the ships go up and down. Unfortunately it is currently prohibited. Nevertheless, one can observe from afar. A nice place.

The lock Anderten, formerly known as Hindenburg lock, in Hannover-Anderten overcomes a difference in height of 14.70 m between the west attitude and the peak position of the Mittelland Canal. It was the largest inland lock in Europe at the time of its inauguration in 1928.

Path Along the Mittelland Canal

Highlight • Trail

In this area, it is recommended to use the path directly along the canal. Komoot recommends a path on the other side of a ditch (see 2nd photo), but the quality of the path is very poor. Maybe OK for hiking, but not recommended for cycling. The path along the canal, on the other hand, is easy to ride and beautiful.

Mittelland Canal Path

Highlight • Trail

It is extremely dangerous to go swimming in canals (especially with heavy traffic). Large ships can hardly see you and even if they do, they cannot stop in time. Furthermore, you can be pulled under them by suction or currents caused by ships passing by. You can be the best swimmer in the world, you had no chance.

Therefore it is also forbidden to swim in channels (except in marked areas)
