The Stör ferry Else is a cable ferry across the Stör between the communities of Beidenfleth and Bahrenfleth .
Traffic significance and tourism attraction
The ferry connection is one of the few traffic connections between the Wilstermarsch and the Krempermarsch . Unless you are in the lower reaches of the sturgeon only two further possibilities for Störquerung: The 12 km upstream located bascule bridge Heiligenstedten and the 10 km downstream from the location at the mouth Störsperrwerk leading B 431 .
There are no other ferry connections over the Stör; the Breitenburg ferry, for example, was replaced by a bridge in the 17th century. There are ferries across the Kiel Canal and the Elbe ferry in Glückstadt only a short distance away . The Else sturgeon ferry is also a tourist attraction.
The ferry has been the 18th member of the German Ferry Route since June 2018 .
