The Deutsche Fährstraße (German Ferry Route) connects ford and landing craft, impressive imperial transporter bridges and modern bridges and tunnels. Nowhere else you will find as many historic and modern possibilities to cross the water, as along the approx. 250-km route past Kiel Canal, the lower river Elbe and Oste.

Take 17 ferries, cross 13 bridges...

That is the German ferry route: around 250 km of between Oste und Ostsee (Baltic Sea), between moor and marsh wait to be explored.

Paddle & Pedal & more – screeched at by seagulls, flanked by embankments, accompanied by dreamboats.

At the centre: the two only transporter bridges in Germany, bizarre monsters from imperial times, nominated as UNESCO world heritage sites.
