Leysiel, Lock and tidal barrier in Krummhörn, Germany
The Leysiel facility contains both a lock system and a tidal barrier, functioning as a water management control point along the North Sea coast.
The construction of Leysiel represents a milestone in German coastal engineering, establishing essential protection against North Sea flooding for the Krummhörn region.
The water management structure integrates with the regional agricultural practices of Krummhörn, reflecting centuries of land reclamation techniques in northern Germany.
Visitors can access Leysiel exclusively by foot or bicycle, with designated pathways leading through the surrounding nature reserve and biotope.
The facility maintains specific water levels between the North Sea and the Leyhörner Sieltief waterway while allowing maritime navigation through its lock system.
