Nobiskrug Canal Ferries

14 ferries cross the Kiel Canal and connect the two banks. The ferry passages are free for vehicles and people. The basis for the free crossing of the canal is the obligation of the German Reich to provide free crossings for the traffic routes interrupted by the canal construction as part of the construction of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal (Kiel Canal) between 1887 and 1895 (more generally legal crossing Principle of inducement).
Because of the high volume of traffic, two ferries are in use next to each other in Brunsbüttel and Nobiskrug near Rendsburg. A passenger ferry shuttles between the Kiel districts of Holtenau and Wik.
The ferries on the Kiel Canal are barges that have a standard load capacity of 45 t and can carry up to eight cars. Two Voith Schneider propellers ensure good maneuverability. The load capacity of the ferries regularly used in Brunsbüttel is 100 tons. Up to 21 cars can be transported at the same time.
The skippers of the ferries must have a nautical patent. A deckhand assists them in loading and unloading the car ferry.wsa-kiel.wsv.de/Webs/WSA/WSA-Kiel-Holtenau/DE/1_Wasserstrasse/2_Tunnel-Bruecken-Faehren/3_Faehren/Faehren_node.html

Very good way to cross the North Baltic Sea Canal. The ferries are free to use.
