From Kiel to Brunsbüttel on the "southern" canal bank and then back from Brunsbüttel to Kiel on the "northern" shore! The southern tour takes a little longer, as it runs with interruption on the canal.

A great way to cross the Kiel Canal. The transporter bridge (originally built in 1913 and renewed in 2022) is not only available for pedestrians and bicycles, but can also carry up to 4 cars. Use is free for everyone.
