20의 엥겔쇼프가지 명소 & 주요 장소

A fantastic cycle path runs along here, amidst beautiful nature 💚, and features a great rest area with views of the small harbor and the bridge. Highly recommended.

The transporter bridge in the Cuxhaven district was put into operation in 1909. After a bridge was built nearby in the 1970s, it became redundant for regular traffic. Volunteers campaigned to keep it running for pedestrians, cyclists, and small vehicles – and they succeeded: This year, the support association, which has since also founded the "FährStuv" museum, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The transporter bridge has developed into a major tourist attraction over the past decades, says Brinkmann.

Transporter bridge: There are only a few transporter bridges left in the world. There were once 20, but today only eight remain in operation. Germany's oldest is located on the Oste River in the municipality of Hemmoor. Its operation and maintenance are the responsibility of the Hemmoor Support Association, founded in 1975 and currently boasting approximately 250 members.

The ferry is not a ship, but a vehicle that travels across a body of water suspended from a fixed support structure. According to the supporting association, there are only eight transporter bridges left in the world. In Germany, another normally operates in Rendsburg across the Kiel Canal. However, due to a technical defect, it will be out of service until at least the end of July, according to the operator. Other such structures exist in Argentina, France, Great Britain, and Spain, according to the World Association of Transporter Bridges.

Beautiful old historic houses are located here on the dike in Osten. A ride on the transporter bridge is highly recommended 👍🏻. Hiking and cycling tours are also great options here.

A visit to the Grauer Ort Bützfleth Fortress is both worthwhile and interesting. Events take place here throughout the year. The Christmas market with its amateur artists is particularly popular. Food and drink are provided. Homemade cakes and pastries, as well as bratwurst in a roll, are offered. Free restrooms are available in the fortress. A campervan parking space is located directly within the Grauer Ort Bützfleth Fortress. These spaces are very popular. Just a short walk over the dike and you're on the Elbe beach, which stretches for miles. During the summer months, a flea market takes place every first Sunday of the month. No registration is required if you would like to offer your wares here. A visit is recommended 👍.

Today was Heritage Day at Grauer Ort Bützfleth Fortress. Admission and guided tours of the fortress were free. A program was offered for children, and a gun salutation was demonstrated. Food and drink were provided, including delicious bratwurst and homemade cakes. Drinks were also available, of course. The weather cooperated, so it was a beautiful and interesting day at Grauer Ort Bützfleth Fortress. A visit is highly recommended 👍.

On June 17th, 2024, we asked a woman and her dog for directions. We wanted to know if you could cross the bridge on the Wischhafener Süderelbe by bike. But she didn't know her way around. She was probably on vacation in Krautsand. As we continued our journey, a couple came towards us on their bikes and told us that the bridge was closed. We then rode back with them. The woman with the dog on a leash was still standing on the path and we rode past her. Last of all, my wife. The dog snapped and bit my right calf. A relatively small wound became infected and we drove to the hospital in Flensburg on June 20th, 2024, where we were treated. We were advised not to continue our journey by bike. We therefore had to end our cycling trip. Perhaps someone can provide information about the dog owner or has met her. Middle-aged woman, 45 to 50 years old, long dark hair. Dog shoulder height approx. 50 cm, long, mottled black, brown, beige hair.
