Seeklause Steeg, Historical water gate in Bad Goisern, Austria.
The Seeklause Steeg contains twelve stone-filled wooden boxes arranged across the lake outflow, with eleven openings controlled by pivoting gates for water regulation.
Built in 1523 and renovated between 1564 and 1573 under Thomas Seeauer's direction, this water gate facilitated salt transportation on the upper Traun river.
The structure represents a crucial example of Upper Austrian engineering, demonstrating advanced water management techniques developed for the salt trade industry.
Visitors can observe the automated gate system installed in 2002, which maintains specific water levels in both Hallstätter See and the Traun River.
The mechanism includes a wooden lever called Torspreize that allows one person to open all gates within 15 minutes, creating a downstream water surge.
