20의 힘멜포르텐가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

If you are planning a round trip, taking the ferry on the way there and the bridge over the main road on the way back, remember: The road bridge is high. You have to take a pretty long detour to get to the bridge (or push your bike up the steep path)

there really aren't that many transporter bridges left. The ferry across the Oste only runs if at least 4 cyclists want to cross over. Please note the travel times.

The Hanseatic city of Stade has an old town that is particularly worth seeing and five ports. A tour between the beautiful brick houses and along the water is definitely worth it. In recent years, several projects have been funded by the EU in Stade, including several tourist ones, which make the Hanseatic city even more beautiful.

The transporter bridge Osten-Hemmoor is a 1909 commissioned transporter bridge in the district of Cuxhaven, which crosses the Oste between Osten and Hemmoor. The ferry has been protected as a technical cultural monument since 1974 and is now part of the German ferry route tourist route
