Oberndorf Bascule Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

On the bridge there is actually the possibility to take a break with a table & bench and watch the hustle and bustle on the river in a relaxed way!
A bizarre resting place next to the vehicle traffic over the Oste🙃

View of the Oste River and Oberndorf Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the top of the dyke next to the monument to Fallersleben invites you to take a break on a bench. From here you have an excellent view over the Oste and the opposite bank as well as the bascule bridge on the right!

Osten Suspension Ferry (Oste River Suspension Ferry)

Highlight • Bridge

Here you have the best view of the old suspension bridge in the east and you can easily get over the Oste when the old suspension bridge is not in operation.

View of the Osten–Hemmoor Transporter Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A crossing on the Oste transporter bridge is highly recommended. It's also a truly impulsive sight.
