Nieuwe Meersluis (Lock)
Nieuwe Meer, Amsterdam (Staande Mastroute)52.33881, 4.84665
Large lock on the Staande Mastroute (the fixed-mast route through Holland), linking the Nieuwe Meer to the Schinkel southwest of the city. Roomy at 120 m, so it takes plenty of boats at once and turns around often, quieter late in the evening.
