The city of Kappeln has had this bascule bridge since 2002, replacing the old swing bridge. Once every hour, the bridge opens the passage for the many boats and ships that accumulate in front of this obstacle in summer. From the visitors' platform you can look directly into the boats and wish and wave a good trip from "Sehleut" to "Sehleut"!

In summer, from April 1st to October 31st, it opens every hour from 5:45 a.m. to 9:45 p.m.
In winter, from November 1st to March 31st, it opens every hour from 7:45 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
A little hint: the bridge opens once an hour at 45. Say around 11:45 am, 12:45 pm, 1:45 pm and so on.

Great harbor district and the spectacle when the ships pass through with the bridge open - great!
