Strépy-Thieu ship lift

Local name: Scheepslift van Strépy-Thieu

The structure erected in 2002 is one of the largest sluice elevators in the world. Ships passing through the canal overcome here the differences in water levels equal to 73.5 m. In addition to utility functions, the elevator is one of the biggest local attractions - tourists can not only visit it, but also take a cruise up or down the canal.
