Lüneburg–Scharnebeck Ship Lift

Highlight • Monument

The construction of the world's largest double-vertical boat lift Lüneburg Scharnebeck was built in 1974 and offers a worth seeing technical spectacle. The ship lift offers modern cargo ships the opportunity to overcome a height of 38 meters. The lift's design lasted for decades.

In order to create a connection between the Elbe (Artlenburg) and Mittellandkanal (Wolfsburg), engineers built the Elbe side canal in eight years of construction. On the entire stretch of the Elbe side channel a height difference of 61 meters is overcome. Of these, the Uelzen lock bridges 23 meters and the remaining 38 meters the Scharnebeck ship lift.

View of the Neetze River at Fischhausen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fischhausen is a small, idyllic district of Echem. It enjoys a quiet location between the Elbe Lateral Canal and the Neetze River, which is channeled beneath the Elbe Lateral Canal through a culvert (underground pipe).

There are only a few houses in this district...you can leave the district as quickly as you enter.

The view from the bridge is an invitation to linger.
