Ferries cross the Kiel Canal at 14 locations, connecting the two shores.
The Kudensee ferry is one of them. Ferry crossings are free for vehicles and passengers. The basis for the free crossing of the canal is the German Empire's commitment to provide free crossings for the traffic routes interrupted by the construction of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal (North Sea Canal)
between 1887 and 1895.
The ferries on the Kiel Canal are inland waterway vessels that, as standard,
have a carrying capacity of 45 tons and can carry up to eight cars.
Two Voith-Schneider propellers ensure good maneuverability.
The carrying capacity of the ferries regularly used in Brunsbüttel is 100 tons.
Up to 21 cars can be transported simultaneously.
The ferry captains must have a nautical license.
A deckhand assists with loading and unloading the car ferry.wsa-nord-ostsee-kanal.wsv.de/Webs/WSA/WSA-Nord-Ostsee-Kanal/DE/1_Wasserstrasse/2_Tunnel-Bruecken-Faehren/3_Faehren/Faehren_node.html
