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.

There are two separate jetties where guest berths are available (except for the places marked in red). The harbor does not dry out and is also accessible for larger boats. The boats sink in the soft mud at low tide and even remain afloat in front of the sluice at the southern facility.

beautiful little harbor, ideal for watching ships and boats, there is also a lock to admire😀😀

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 cycle path along the canal is and remains a pleasure👍👍🤗 Relaxed cycling and watching the boats and ships
