Kiel Canal

Highlight • Bridge

A railway bridge that was completed in 1920. The bridge became known in 1992 through the so-called "faecal process" because the open outhouse of the railway left its mark on the gardens of the residents.

Ship Passing Bay on the Kiel Canal

Highlight • River

At this point, large ships have to wait when there is oncoming traffic, so with luck you can watch two ships passing at the same time...

Hochdonn Ferry and Railway Bridge on the Kiel Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The ferries across the Kiel Canal run around the clock as needed. You'll definitely come over, no matter when you come. And it's free. There is nothing to complain about. ;)
