Hoernbruecke and harbour: a walk through Kiel's maritime heart
Around the Hoernbruecke and the marina, a walk links the ferry terminals, the promenade and the view of the large ferries to Scandinavia.
With its unusual folding design, the Hoernbruecke is one of the landmarks of Kiel's harbour. Around the Hoern, a walk connects the marina, the ferry terminals and the promenade with views of the large ferries that depart daily for Sweden and Norway. In the summer months, cafes, events and water sports enliven the waterfront. The city points to the easy access on foot from the main station and the connection to the fjord ferries, which make it easy to explore both sides of the fjord.
