The bridge is lowered every hour on the hour!
The barrier staff can be contacted via an intercom directly on the bridge.
The staff were very friendly and had lowered the bridge earlier!
Great!

The bridge over the Huntesperrwerk only closes every hour on the hour during the day. Otherwise, the only option is to go back and then turn right over the railway bridge to cross the Hunte - or just wait and take a picnic break :)

Thanks for the hints with the "opening hours" of the bridge! Because we would have been at the bridge at 19:30, we took the path over the railway bridge to Elsfleth. Otherwise we would have to wait 30 minutes or drive back 3 km.

We had no choice but to wait 20 minutes at the bascule bridge. The connection over the railway bridge is blocked.

Bridge opens every hour on the hour if demand and the type of ship permit.

Every hour on the hour the bridge is lowered and cyclists and pedestrians can cross the Hunte and do not have to cycle or hike the bypass to Elsfleth. Part of the Weser Cycle Path is shortened as a result.

You have to cross this bridge if you want to go to Elsfleth or Brake! The way over the railway bridge has been blocked by the DB! Don't let the signs confuse you (like me ...) Another possibility would be to turn left further south towards Huntbrück.

In order to protect the Elsfleth hinterland - i.e. the cities of Elsfleth and Oldenburg as well as parts of the municipalities of Wardenburg and Zwischenahn - from storm surges, the Hunte barrage was built from 1976 to 1979. It is located at the mouth of the Hunte and the Weser near Elsfleth. The barrage is approx. 120 m wide, the openings for shipping are each 26 m wide for one direction of travel. Pedestrians and cyclists can reach the Weser peninsula "Elsflether Sand" every hour on the hour via the Hunte Barrage.

The bridge can only be crossed on the hour between 7 am and 8 pm. Only then will she fold down briefly. That should be considered in the tour planning.

Only closes briefly every hour on the hour. Good planning and timing are important, otherwise you have to wait a long time.

This is where the Hunte and Weser meet and the bridge is only for bicycles and pedestrians. There is no other comparable.

Everyone in Oldenburg knows the Hunte. But where is it going? Here is the answer.
