In the traffic jam steps
of the Moselle between Koblenz and Trier there is beside him„ Do go“ in
the big sluice chambers also to use the possibility free of charge the
boat sluices and boat lanes in self-service. The boat sluices exist in
every traffic jam step and have 18-m length, 3.5-m wide and 1.5-m deep.
Boat lanes with children's slide are for boats with 1.2-m wide and 0.3
ms of draft. There are boat lanes
in: To Tired, Fankel, Enkirch, Zeltingen, Wintrich, Grevenmacher and Palzem.
Boat lanes are planned only for drivings downhill.
Service for the boat sluice:
We do a mountain journey. Besides, there are two situations:
either the lower entrance gate is open or is closed.
1. The entrance gate is open.
We go in the chamber up to wall leader, fix the boat and
climb up to the operating board. We put up the direction voter„ Mountain
journey“ and do press„ ONE“. The impulse works automatically, the process
lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Before the exit we bring the direction voter in the
position„ 0“. If 2 persons are in the boat, one can remain in the operating
board and one in the boat.
2. The entrance gate is closed.
In this case we must fix the boat in the Reeling
intended for it and go about the stair to the operating board. Now in spite
of mountain journey becomes the direction voter on„ Driving downhill“ put
and switched on. After opening the gate we drive and then go forward like
on top. This time the process lasts all together about 25 - 30 minutes.
With the driving downhill the same happens basically:
with open gate we drive and put up„ Driving downhill“, with closed gate we
must go first„ Mountain journey“ put. Remember: before the exit direction
voter on„ 0“ put. Good journey!
Service of the boat lane:
In the lane entrance there is a hold clutch, an operating
button and a traffic light. Drive in the lane, stick to the clutch, the button
press, the gate opens, do wait to the traffic light„ green“ points (then
is water on the boat children's slide). Lot allow to drive and in the canal.
