Este Klappbrücke

The mighty bascule bridge over the mouth of the estuary has risen high - depending on the tide's water level, the headroom below the bridge varies

The Este bascule bridge is a technical highlight. It is also a barrier to the Este.

The structure with the two large weights directly above the road is already impressive. Unfortunately, the bridge rarely opens. 😕

From here you have a beautiful view of the other bank of the Elbe (Blankenese).

Also the Sietaswerft is interesting.

Belongs to a bike ride.

For all those, if you are interested in great technik, this is something ....

For every friend of technology and hydraulic engineering certainly worth seeing.
------------------------------
There are also cities for all of Frünn vun Technik and Waderbugwarke wedder wat tau beseihn.

From here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Elbe.

The bascule bridge is an eyecatcher - from afar.
A really great design and a great structure. All around the bridge is going on. Opposite there is a shipyard and left and right of the canal two viewpoints with perfect views of Blankenese (telephoto!).

Here you should always look over! A gigantic lock and a wonderful photo motive.

After the storm surge had caused severe damage in 1962, the Estesperrwerk was built. The barrage with its bascule bridge is today the largest attraction in Cranz. Cranz offers the best conditions for trips to the Old Country and is also the starting point for day trips to the city of Hamburg. From the suburb of Blankenese the Elbe ferry goes to Cranz. By bus you can reach Finkenwerder and Altona.

Bridges Technology from back then, which is still used today and there is a lot more to visit here.

Be sure to visit the Gasthaus zur Post in Cranz! delicious

Depending on the season you can see thousands of birds in this nature reserve.

Our plan was to translate Cranz by ferry to Blankenese. Unfortunately drove on Saturday 09.08.19 no ferry. So we had to drive to Finkenwerder on.

One of the highlights in terms of beautiful views.

Interesting javelin at the estuary. Definitely impress when a boat / boat passes the javelin.

Great view of Blankenese and the pots. At low tide there is only watts left.

Special bascule bridge, worth a look (especially if you have to wait for the ferry anyway :)
