Elbe Lateral Canal | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

The Elbe Lateral Canal is a 115-kilometre long canal in Lower Saxony, Germany, providing a crucial transport link between southern and northern Germany. Constructed between 1968 and 1976, it bypasses a section of the Elbe River with limited navigability. The canal features a 23-metre lock at Uelzen and the Scharnebeck twin ship lift, a 38-metre boat lift, to overcome a 61-metre elevation difference.
