Kiel Canal at Sehestedt

Driving a ferry is always an experience for me. A special one on the canal when the big ships are crossing.

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.
