To this day, the lock is operated by hand—a rare sight that brings the history of engineering vividly to life. Visitors can watch as the heavy gates slowly open and close, allowing vessels to overcome a height difference of 2.40 metres.

In 1912, the upper and lower gates were renewed. Further modifications followed in the decades thereafter, including the installation of a sluice weir in 1952 and the construction of a flap gate weir in 2004 in the former southern lock chamber.

Liepe Lock is the last lock before the Finow Canal flows into the Oder–Havel Canal, marking a historic transition between two major waterways. The Niederfinow ship lifts are within walking distance, making the site an ideal rest stop for canoe tours along the canal.

Location: Finowkanal km 88.91

Dimensions: Lock chamber: 43.07 m long, 9.60 m wide; Upper and lower gates: 5.30 m wide each

Lift: 2.40 m
