A new and significantly larger boat lift was inaugurated next to the old one in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the old boat lift in Niederfinow still in operation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the historic boat lift from 1934 is still in operation. Today, you can see both the old and the new lift side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the boat lift in Niederfinow work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boats enter a large water-filled trough that is then raised or lowered, much like a giant elevator. The trough is balanced by large counterweights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you go boating through the boat lift in Niederfinow?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, tourist boat tours through the lifts are arranged during the season. We took one of these tours through the old boat lift and found it a fascinating way to experience the construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit the boat lift in Niederfinow with a camper van?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, there is parking at the visitor area and the area is easy to visit by camper. Check current regulations if you also want to stay overnight at or near the parking lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"freed-2176516248\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_2 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><form method=\"post\" id=\"ft_newsletter_subscribe\" action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2022\/07\/batlyften-i-niederfinow\/\" class=\"ft-newsletter\" data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-trp-original-action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2022\/07\/batlyften-i-niederfinow\/\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"stage\" value=\"subscribe\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prenumerera_pa_vart_nyhetsbrev\"><\/span>Subscribe to our newsletter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"form-field\" data-missing=\"This field is required.\" data-invalid=\"Please enter a valid email address.\">\n<label for=\"ft_newsletter_email\">Email address<\/label>\n<input id=\"ft_newsletter_email\" name=\"ft_newsletter_email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" aria-required=\"true\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<input class=\"signup button newsletter-meta-button\" type=\"submit\"  name=\"subscribe\" value=\"Subscribe\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -4200px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ft-newsletter-protect\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"98d0b92c63fae1c39c28d2024aa82be8e0ab74fe\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"trp-form-language\" value=\"en\"\/><\/form><\/div><div id=\"freed-600708686\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_3 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 35px;\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"FREEDOMtravel Exit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png\" alt=\"FREEDOMtravel Avslut\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-224x75.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-600x200.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-433x144.png 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G\u00e5 vidare till FREEDOMtravel Advertisement Annons Skribent: Helena Bergstr\u00f6m Uppdaterad: Augusti 2026\u00a0|\u00a0B\u00e5tlyftarna i Niederfinow p\u00e5 den tyska Oder-Havelkanalen \u00e4r fascinerande tekniska konstruktioner som lyfter b\u00e5tar hela 36 meter.
