Guided Story

Take a moment to observe how the Krapphofschleusenbrücke seamlessly connects the waterways of the Dove Elbe and the Bille. This bridge is more than a crossing; it is part of one of Germany's oldest artificial waterways, the Schleusengraben. Since 1929, it has been crucial for accessing the Bergedorf Harbor. Beneath the bridge, there's a canoe slipway located just east of the lock, offering a unique way to engage with the waterways. If you look to the west, about 870 meters away, you'll find the Reitbrooker Fährstein B222A, another testament to the area's rich history.
