Locks and Bridges
Day 25: Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Locks and bridges
Our voyage on the canals towards the Rhine brings us through and under various locks and bridges. To sum up the experience in that regard: Locks are big, and bridges are low! We knew that we should be able to pass under all the bridges, but every now and again we get a little worried as they seem to be too low.
The locks are getting bigger
There's no doubt that the locks are getting bigger and bigger as we are getting closer to the Rhine. The locks around Lübeck were "cosy" compared to the locks we see these days. Saga Farmann is a small ship in a lock build to hold 150 m barges.
