Guided Story
Imagine standing here and hearing the soft rippling of the Warnow River. Once, this was a bustling spot where ships navigated the lock between the upper and lower parts of the river. But today, take a look around; it's all changed. Now, it's a path for canoeists and kayakers continuing their journey. Turn around and picture the lock gates opening and closing, playing a crucial role in the waterway. This transformation is a testament to Rostock's ability to blend its rich history with modern needs. The city has elegantly merged the old with the new.
