Lock 7 Viewing Complex

The Lock 7 Viewing Complex is literally where 'the ships climb the mountain'. If you're keen on watching ships make their way through the locks, than this is the spot for you. Stand here and watch in amazement at home something so simple, can be so mesmerizing. With tourists and locals stopping here at any time of the day, the staff is there to provide you with a short history on the creation of the canal system, and if you feel up to it order up a cone of ice-cream, walk right out to the viewing area and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ships making their way through the locks.
