The Neckarzimmern barrage is located on the Neckar in Baden-Württemberg . It is crossed by a weir that is also used as a cycle path. The Haßmersheim district is located on the southern side of the Neckar .

construction

The barrage consists of three weir fields with five structures. The entire system is spanned over 140 meters by an approximately two-and-a-half meter wide weir walkway built in a trough construction. It is part of the Neckar Valley Cycle Route and is frequented by both cyclists and pedestrians.

Construction work

The jetty, which was in great need of renovation, was completely replaced during the 2013 summer vacation. Instead of an asphalt surface, a grating is now used to prevent the deposition of ice and snow.

location

Seen from the Rhine , the barrage is the ninth facility.
