Creator's Key Takeaways

The Strepppy Theo boat lift located on the Canal Center in Highot Belgium is a fascinating engineering marvel.

It was built to facilitate barge transportation between the Muse and Shel rivers.

For more than a decade, it was the world's tallest boat lift until China built one for the Three Gorges Dam in 2016.

And I was able to transit during my trip with Quasi Europe River Cruises on the barge MS Raymond.
