An open church in the east, right in the center of the village. Beautiful to see from the inside, don't just drive by. A visit is worthwhile.

A great bike and hiking route runs here along the Oste Bridge. Park benches are available and you have a great view from the bridge of the harbor and the church of Oberndorf.

The ferry is not a ship, but a vehicle that moves across a body of water by hanging from a fixed support. According to the support association, there are eight such transporter bridges worldwide. In Germany, another one usually operates in Rendsburg over the Kiel Canal. However, due to a technical defect, it has been out of service until at least the end of July, according to the operator. Further such structures exist, according to the World Federation of Transporter Bridges, in Argentina, France, Great Britain, and Spain.

Ferry bridge: There are only a few ferry bridges worldwide. There used to be 20, today there are only eight left. Which are still in operation as a means of transport. Germany's oldest is located on the Oste in the Samtgemeinde Hemmoor. The Förderverein Hemmoor, founded in 1975 and now with approx. 250 members, takes care of its operation and preservation.
