About
Two boat lifts stand side by side in Niederfinow: Germany's oldest working one, a steel giant from 1934, and Europe's newest, opened in 2022. Each raises whole ships 36 meters in a water-filled trough.
Kids can walk the old lift's viewing paths and watch ships rise, join a guided tour of the new one, or ride a tour boat through. The information center explains how it all works.
