Staustufe Detzem

The Staustufe Detzem controls water levels on the Moselle River with a 9-meter drop height and extends across a 29-kilometer reservoir length.

Built in 1964, this barrage became an essential part of the Mosel-Saar-Lahn waterway system, enhancing navigation and water management capabilities.

The barrage stands as a central point along the Moselradweg cycling path, where cyclists gather to observe ships passing through the locks.

Visitors can access the barrage viewing platforms through marked trails, with parking facilities available near the main entrance of the facility.

The hydroelectric plant at Detzem generates 24 megawatts of power while featuring a dedicated fish ladder for maintaining river ecosystem balance.
