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.

July 28, 2023,Schiffsschleuse Anderten

Today we cycled to the Anderten lock and we didn't regret it. Really very interesting. Lunch was at Anderten's "Alter Bahnhof". We recommend everyone who is in the vicinity to take a break there. The return trip took us past the Bolzum lock and the Rethmar castle and estate. We also took a little break there.
You can see everything …

In sunshine, we headed first eastwards and then southwards to Dolgen and then to the Mittelland Canal. I followed this for a good 17 km beyond the Anderter lock. The path along the MLK is easy to cycle. At first, however, I had the path almost to myself. It was only near Hanover that there were a few more cyclists …
