Lock

In Bruinisse is a barrier that can commute through the vessels between the tidenabhängigen complex of the Eastern Scheldt and stagnant Grevelingen. This lock should not be confused with a second lock in Grevelingendam which ensures, together with a lock in the opposite Brouwersdam that the salt content in the largest saltwater lake in Europe, the Grevelingen, roughly stagnant is 16 parts per thousand salinity. This is useful for ecological reasons out. These two rinsing reserved locks were built later, when you had to find that the precipitation surplus sweetened waters, many more, and thus, was no longer guaranteed the objective of maintaining a saltwater lake. He threatened to verbracken. The lake had to remain salty due to a long -discussed and substantiated by much research work decision of the Dutch Parliament. Through the lock in Brouwersdam seawater at 35 parts per thousand may be admitted by the flushing sluice (not ship lock! ) In Grevelingendam an appropriate amount payable to verbrackendem water. The Schiffahrsschleuse in Bruinisse contrast compensates for the difference in height between the Grevelingen and the North Sea ( eastern part ), so that the ships of the marinas can sail the North Sea. The Rijksweg 59 runs since 2007 on two parallel bridges, a sliding bridge and a bascule bridge, so that it does not come at the lock to traffic delays. The two Spülschleusen in Brouwersdam or Grevelingendam not affect the flow of traffic on the dams. They are not visible from the street.

The village Bruinisse organizes Visserijdagen (fishing days), which take place every year in July.
