The Oldenbüttel Canal Ferry is a small cable-stayed ferry that transports pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles across the Kiel Canal. It uses the water current and a taut wire cable to enable the canal crossing without its own propulsion.

During the construction of the Kiel Canal (NOK), a connection between the Kiel Canal and the Eider River was created in Rendsburg. However, because the lock increasingly hindered road traffic in Rendsburg, an alternative lock was built further west in 1937: The Gieselau Lock. Since then, this lock has connected the Eider River with the Kiel Canal in the Gieselau Valley, south of Prinzenmoor. The Gieselau Canal is only navigable during the summer months.
