Breiholz Ferry on the Kiel Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The Kiel Canal is an artificial waterway whose construction not only cut through landscapes, forests, and fields, but sometimes also villages and existing country roads. The major roads and railways were connected by gigantic bridges, while the smaller ones are "spanned" by ferries. A total of 14 ferries operate along the canal, transporting cars, bicycles, and pedestrians from one bank to the other day and night, free of charge by imperial decree. For anxious passengers, it should be noted that they are probably the safest means of transport there is, as in their over 100-year history, there have been no significant accidents!

Crossing the canal on the Breiholz ferry is always interesting, as you can usually see one or more ships crossing the ferry's path.

There is always a lot to see along the NOK route. ships, nature and so on. Even those who are hungry and thirsty will find some nice places here, where you can sit and relax for a while. Drive along the NOK yourself and you will know what I mean. :)

Jevenau River

Highlight • River

The Jevenau is a 10 km long river that originates east of Jevenstedt at the confluence of the Brammer Au and Bokeler Au rivers, where it flows into the Kiel Canal.

Before the Kiel Canal was established, the Jevenau flowed into the Eider River.

The name "Jevenau" was first documented in 1339 as ad Yevenam. This probably derives from the Old Saxon Gevana, meaning "river rich in bounty" or "river rich in fish." Anglers value the waters for their populations of brown trout, eels, and perch.

"Since July 24, 2020, the DRF Luftrettung rescue helicopter Christoph 42 has been housed on the site after the station at the previous location had become too small. The helicopter type EC145 was replaced by a modern H145. The helicopter is the only 24-hour one -Helicopters in Schleswig-Holstein."

Thanks to Emperor Wilhelm I, the use of the canal ferries is free.

The imperial decree that guaranteed this at the opening remains in effect to this day.
