Ha die Kurt. Mooi gefilmd. De moeite waard zo'n groot aantal spitsen in één rame. Een top dag voor een spitsenfan.

Als je kijkt naar deze route en denkt aan hoe Nederland plat is en dijken heeft om het achterliggende land tegen water te beschermen, dan is die bescherming een prachtige staal van ingenieurswerk. Dat vind ik ook van de tunnels die zijn gemaakt op de route van Amsterdam naar Lyon. Deze tunnels zijn ook ingenieurswerk van topklasse. Omgekeerde dijken om de scheepvaart doorgang te kunnen geven.

Incroyable. Quel risque et quelle force pour le toueur pour 4/0u 5 péniches. Wouah. Bon système.

Wow. Is the front chain tug(?) pulling all of them? Interesting set-up on that. the chain lying on the bottom and all. very unique.

[@TheMateriaalkunde]

And powered by overhead electric wires like a trolleybus.

Why can’t they go through the tunnel under there own power

[@crvansanten1778]

Whow

[@thameswater2561]

please tell me more about this place why are they being towed and the reason many thanks Regards from the uk.

[@VMKurt]

+thameswater They are towed because they go through a 6km long tunnel without ventilation. For that reason the use of engines is forbidden.

[@janner1596]

@@VMKurt what powers the winch pulling the chain ?

[@lorithorpe3502]

@@VMKurt why don't they have air vents or air pumped into the tunnel ,there's a tunnel over here in uk , called harecastle tunnel ,& they pump air in before you go enter , ive been through it , & it's very cold lol .

[@willjankuvic9387]

@@lorithorpe3502 This "Riqueval Tunnel" was made in the times of Napoleon Bonapartes years 1801 - 1810 and in these times air vents were not at that priority as it would be in a project of today , I believe. The tunnel is a masterpiece anyway, done by hands and horses.

[@Genius_at_Work]

@@janner1596 The Tug is electric. There are three Overhead Wires, so I guess it runs on Triple Phase AC.
