Rendsburg High Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Before planning tours that include the Rendsburg transporter bridge under the railway high bridge, you should check if it is actually operational.

Because unfortunately it is stationary more often than it actually runs.

Pilot station Rüsterbergen on the Kiel Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

From Kiel to Brunsbüttel on the "southern" canal bank and then back from Brunsbüttel to Kiel on the "northern" shore! The southern tour takes a little longer, as it runs with interruption on the canal.

So briefly through the bicycle tunnel. On the other side of the NOK …
