Try out the “Tarzan swings” or get your lifting diploma and then unpack your picnic basket with your parents by the watercourse - there's something for the whole family to enjoy here.

The water playground at the upper dock is an attraction for children and teenagers: Slide, climbing wall, two Tarzan swings, a raft and lots of water - our playground has everything a child's heart desires. One highlight is an artificial watercourse with a model of the shiplift, where children can crank small rafts up and down. The season at the water playground starts in March and ends in October. There is also a smaller playground at the upper dock with parts of a wooden ship that invites children to climb and play pirate games.

On our guided tour ‘Where the ships take the lift’, children and parents go on an adventurous journey of discovery: Together they explore the power with which ships are lifted 14 metres. Equipped with a ‘Pütz’ and a scrubbing brush, they take part in the daily work on board an inland vessel..

The tour can be booked as a group programme. It is also available as an open offer every 2nd and 4th Sunday at 2 pm (subject to change at short notice. Please check our calendar of events).
