Nijkerkersluis

Nijkerkersluis is a navigation lock in Nijkerk that moves boats between water levels in central Netherlands. The structure features two sets of gates and allows vessels to pass through a key junction in the inland waterway system.

The lock was built to safely move ships between the region's water systems. Since its construction, it has played a central role in continuous traffic flow through Dutch inland waters.

The Nijkerkersluis represents Dutch water management expertise, forming part of the extensive network of locks that characterize the Netherlands maritime infrastructure.

Visitors can watch the lock operate during daytime hours as boats pass through and water levels adjust. It is helpful to view from the publicly accessible bank side where the entire operation is visible.

Vessels passing through Nijkerkersluis can communicate through Marifoon channel 18, coordinating their passage with lock operators for efficient water level adjustments.
