The weir group with the Quitzöbel barge lock is the last barrage on
the Havel. From here, pleasure boats can travel a further 11km via
the Gnevsdorfer Vorfluter (a Brandenburg state waterway) to the
Elbe. At the barge lock at Gnevsdorf the boats are then lowered to
the level of the Elbe. The Gnevsdorfer Vorfluter is an artificial
extension of the Havel, whereby the natural mouth at Quitzöbel was
shifted to a lower Elbe level, in order to ensure the discharge
also with Elbhochwasser.
From 22 to 5 o'clock and on Sa, Su and holidays from 12 to 15
o'clock there is a driving prohibition for sport boats with
combustion engine. During the congestion period (at Elbe low water)
you should stay in the buoyed fairway, the WT can then fall below
1m and the current increases sharply.
