The ferries cost nothing and so you can choose depending on the position of the sun whether you'd rather go in the sun or in the shade.

September 6, 2023,NOK Nord-Ostsee-Kanal-Runde von Stedestedt nach Rendsburg mit Schwebefähre

Beautiful bike tour on the Kiel Canal from Stedestedt to Rendsburg and back on the other side of the canal. Entertaining translation with the hanging ferry in Rendsburg and with a "standard ferry" to Stedestedt. The variety of ships on dwm NOK make the trip very varied!

Once again, the NOK and a bit of the Eider 👍🏻
With perfect weather and few tourists, you could cycle in peace 🚴🏻‍♂️
A little break on the longest bench 😀

May 31, 2022,🔄 Kanal TOUR (Rd-Eck)

Of the 15 signposted themed tours in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district, I did the "Canal TOUR" today.
After I had chosen my start in Sehestedt on the north side of the Kiel Canal, it went through more overgrown terrain with a view of the canal in the direction of Rendsburg, except for a short stretch. Today the view of the canal …

May 29, 2025,Kanaltour Sehestedt bis Rendsburg und zurück

Today, a great tour, once again inspired by Heike Götz. Beautiful paths and simply beautiful along the Kiel Canal. The tour was very varied, and since the transporter bridge was out of service, we had to take the pedestrian tunnel. Certainly not as old or long as the old Elbe Tunnel, but still worth seeing.

August 10, 2021,NOK Rendsburg - Sehestedt 10.08.2021 12:56

My 3rd tour on the NOK. This time from the Nobiskrug ferry to Sehestedt and back. In Sehestedt the beautiful church and the pastorate are worth seeing. The obelisk is also very interesting historically. On the way back, the rain shower caught me and soaked me :)

Unfortunately, the cycle path is very poorly signposted where cycle paths are closed at the high bridge.
