Lock closure in Lübz: Tourism suffers, Elde attracts with calm!
Lübz, Deutschland - The lock in Lübz remains closed and ensures frustration with water hikers and boat tourists. The repair work has been underway since October 2024, and the closure will run until July 31, 2025, as [NDR.de] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommer/schleusensport_luebz_frust_touristikernab.schleusens closing-100.hml). Especially during the high season, this brings considerable challenges for boat tourism. This means that vacationers can no longer commute between the Schwerin See and the Elbe, which leads to a massive decline in bookings.
Robert Bonk, operator of the Marina in Matzlow-Garwitz, is among those affected, who expects an impressive decline in sales of two thirds. In order to stay over water, he tries to generate additional income with canoeing and motorboat rental. Dirk Reiher, who, as the operator of the port in Lübz, sees it from April to June 2024 over 1,300 guests, but only 35 in 2025. Reiher has reacted to the circumstances and offers a mobile boat service, since a stay in the port is hardly worth it.a new adventure on the Elde
However, there are also positive reports beyond the difficulties. The lock of the lock is perceived by many boat vacationers as an opportunity to discover the less well -known waterway Elde. This offers a decelerated travel feeling, far from the hectic boat traffic. According to prnews24.com, over 20 crews have already visited the painterly landscape around the elder raved.The Elde captivates with dense forests, wide fields, avenues and small gardens. In addition to the scenic stimuli, prospective naturalists can also observe a variety of animals, including herons, oters and kingfishers. In addition, cultural stops invite you to explore-such as a stroll through the historic city center of Parchim or a visit to the castle complex in Neustadt-Glewe. The possibility of getting to the Elbe in Eldena and Dömitz rounds off the offer.
effects on the local economy
Despite the pleasant feedback, the special situation shows its effects on local gastronomy and accommodation offers. Isabelle Ventelou, a charterin, complains about 15 to 20 percent losses by postponed bookings. The hotel and restaurant "Zur Eldenburg" also suffer from the guest leakage, as Charter customers traditionally like to spend and feed there. Malgorzata Czaplicka from the hotel describes the situation as worrying because the income has decreased sharply.
The work on the badly damaged lock in Lübz drag down longer than originally planned. Hartwig Meyer from the Wasserstraßen- und Seilfahrtsamt Elbe said that more damage was determined than expected during the repair. The completion of the lock is planned with new gates on July 16, but the final reopening will not take place until the end of July. After the renovation, the Lübz lock will be the last of a total of 18 locks along the Müritz-Elde and Störwasserstrasse that have been completely renovated.
