The ferry runs around the clock and is free, as are all 14 ferries crossing the Kiel Canal. This is thanks to a decree from the times of Kaiser Wilhelm I. A free crossing had to be provided for the traffic routes that were interrupted by the construction of the NOK.

View of the Brunsbüttel High Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Great sight, impressive building. At 2831 m, the Brunsbüttel high bridge is the longest bridge over the Kiel Canal and is therefore one of the longest
Bridges of Germany.
