Rendsburg Transporter Bridge (Schwebefähre Rendsburg)

Highlight • Bridge

Due to a technical defect, the transporter bridge is out of service until further notice. Visit the WSV website for more information. Use the Nobiskrug ferry. Two ferries operate there. ✅

Rendsburg High Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Before planning tours that include the Rendsburg transporter bridge under the railway high bridge, you should check if it is actually operational.
