Mouth of the Schwentine River

Highlight • River

The good old Schwentinen Bridge. It is a listed building and offers a great, wide view of the fjord 💙.

On the other side, the view is directed towards the beautiful Schwentine. From here you can start a fun day by e.g. renting a paddle boat, taking a trip down the Schwentinen valley and taking a break at the Oppendorfer Mühle to strengthen yourself 😊...

Kiel Museum Harbour at the Germaniahafen

Highlight • Historical Site

The non-profit association Museumshafen Kiel e.V. (Kiel Museum Harbor Association) has been operating a traditional harbor in the Germania Basin of Kiel Harbor since 2004.

Here, you'll find traditional sailing ships and historic vessels that were used for coastal shipping in Northern Europe in previous centuries.

The diverse collection ranges from small coastal fishing boats to large, well-traveled Marstal schooners. The ships are not meant to be moored, but rather to fulfill their purpose as sailing heritage vessels.

The coming and going of the ships, as well as the work of the crews and owners on their vessels, constantly presents visitors with a vibrant harbor scene.

Among the ships are the "Sampo," built in Kiel in 1896; the English oyster fisherman "Mildred," our fastest ship; and our "Zuversicht," a Marstal schooner built in Nyborg, Denmark, in 1905.

Hörn Bridge (Hörnbrücke) (indefinitely closed)

Highlight • Bridge

The Hörnbrücke is a three-part folding bridge (three-span folding bridge) for pedestrians over the Hörn in the harbor of Kiel, which is the only bridge in the world that works according to this principle (three-span folding principle).
The Hörnbrücke is scheduled to be opened to shipping traffic around twelve times a day for a quarter of an hour each time and additionally if necessary.
The delicate bridge is considered a tourist attraction in Kiel because of its unusual construction and its exposed location.
The Hörnbrücke is also the starting or ending point of a tourist holiday route opened in May 2004, the German Ferry Route from Bremervörde to the Kiel Fjord.
Because of the technical problems that were initially common, the Hörn Bridge was often derisively called the “Nothing Works Bridge”. However, these deficiencies have been eliminated and it now “works” without any problems, only for the above-mentioned. It must be temporarily shut down for maintenance work. The push bridge is then used as an alternative so that the connection from the west to the east bank is ensured at all times.

Friedrichsort Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Kiel Fjord has its bottleneck at the location of the lighthouse Friedrichsort with a width of approx. 1.9 km. Seagoing ships from the Kiel Canal with a length of 235 m or a width of up to 32.5 m and even larger ships that call at the port of Kiel operate here - including impressive passenger and cruise ships that come in every time Become part of the maritime cityscape of Kiel.

The Friedrichsorter Enge has been fired since 1815. First there was a lighthouse on the Prince George Bastion of the old fortress. In 1853 an iron beacon was built on the offshore sandbank, which was destroyed by ice in 1864. This lighthouse was rebuilt in 1866. In 1889 the fire was raised to a height of around 14.5 m and received the large lantern for the 1936 Olympics. After more than 100 years, the tower was replaced by a “new” lighthouse in Friedrichsort, just a few meters from the previous location. The remains of the old lighthouse can still be seen today. After the new tower was put into operation on October 29, 1971, the large lantern was again taken over by the city of Kiel for an Olympics in Germany and set up in the city center at the old boat harbor. The “new” lighthouse Friedrichsort was equipped with a fog fire in 1990. The 31.7 m high structure is a round white reinforced concrete tower with a green and white banded gallery.

The Friedrichsort lighthouse continues to provide shipping with reliable information for navigation. The lighthouse is remotely controlled and remotely monitored and equipped with redundant systems.

Tiessenkai, Kiel

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is definitely worth a detour here. Some small restaurants with delicious food and drinks. Great view of the fjord directly at the lock entrance and exit to the NOK. Always quite crowded in spring, summer and autumn when the weather is good. Better to park or push the bike. There are also various storage options for bicycles on the west side of the Tiessenkai.
