Due to a technical defect, the transporter bridge is out of service until further notice. Visit the WSV website for more information. Use the Nobiskrug ferry. Two ferries operate there. ✅

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.

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.

On the 1st day a thunderstorm with hail and rain hit us. Every other day the sun shone, the sky was clear and …

Actually, I wanted to take the transporter bridge to translate, but as is always the case, repair work was carried out there today and the ferry was therefore out of service. So briefly through the bicycle tunnel. On the other side of the NOK …
