The East Central Europe high ropes course is for experienced climbers. But it's fun to watch.

A lock was built in 1957 with the barrage on the Elbe River to allow ships to overcome the difference in height. Depending on the tide, this difference varies between approximately 1.30 and 3.50 meters. Since the construction of the barrage, the lock channel has cut through the foreland of the Besenhorst Sand Hills. This is how the lock island was created. At the level of the weir, the Geesthacht Lock offers two parallel chambers, each 230 meters long and 25 meters wide. The southern chamber went into operation in 1960, and the northern chamber was completed in 1981. The chambers' four lifting gates are operated electromechanically. Due to the counterweights running in the reinforced concrete towers, only minimal force is required. The chambers are filled without surges by gently lifting the upper gates and through a channel in the central wall. Excess water from the neighboring chamber can also be used for filling via this channel. https://metropolregion.hamburg.de/natur-und-kultur-erleben/industriekultur-am-wasser/routen/geesthacht/schleuse-11608
