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)

The Stade city harbor is located on the Schwinge river, which flows into the Elbe near Stadersand. If you follow the course of the swing, you will reach the city harbor after 4.5 km. Here you can moor on 160 m of modern floating piers with electricity connections and are then right in the city center. The port is equipped with a harbor master's office, sanitary facilities and water taps. The harbor is particularly busy with guest boats on weekends.

Around the old harbor is the beautiful old town of Stade with many cafes, restaurants and bars.

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.
