With the Waterways Cruises boaters update messages waters.
With the Wasserwege app, recreational boaters receive current water reports, such as traffic disruptions, water levels or ice reports and the opening times of over 600 (six hundred) locks on the federal waterways in Germany on their tablet.
All important information from the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) on Germany's approximately 7,350 km of inland waterways with its rivers and canals, as well as sea waterways for leisure and pleasure boating, is quickly and locally visualized on a map.
If a lock is open at the time of the query, this is indicated to the user by the lock icon being highlighted in color on the map. The same applies if the lock is closed or blocked.
Manually operated locks are symbolized by a manually operated icon.
Plan your boat trip in advance with the Wasserwege app or find out about the latest news for inland shipping.
Using a user-friendly filter, the display of water reports, such as traffic disruptions (e.g. closures, narrowings, dredging, overtaking bans), water levels or ice reports, can be limited to a specific period of time and filtered by report type. In this way, clues on the planned water route can be identified in advance of a boat tour.
