What it is
The best way to understand the lift is to pass through it. The Niederfinow passenger boat enters the trough, the gates close and you rise or descend 36 metres with the boat inside, looking at the Oder valley from above. Which lift is used, the old one or the new one, is decided that day by the navigation authority.
How it works
In season, from spring to early November, boats leave at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00 from the landing stage near the lower harbour of the old lift; not every opening day has a boat, so check the departures on the website beforehand. The trip lasts between 45 and 90 minutes. The fare published for 2027 is €18 (€10 concession), €22 with entry to the site and €28 with the guided tour.
