Port of hamburg

The Port of Hamburg is the largest port in Germany by volume of goods. The port is on the Elbe River, 110 kilometers away from the North Sea. As the third most important port in Europe and 15th in the world, it is called the “Gateway to the World”.

The port dates back to the 9th century, with a pier set up for fishermen to use, in addition to being a point of commerce.

There is a big party celebrating the anniversary of the port, always on the weekend following the 7th of May. On occasion, several ships from around the world arrive in the city and it is possible to visit several ships inside. A very important event for the city.

Old Elbe Tunnel

The Old Elbe Tunnel is a tunnel from the year 1911. It was built to provide a more direct route for dockers from the port to the south bank of the river Elbe from the docks at Landungsbrücken in St. Louis. Pauli.

It was a technical innovation at the time of its construction and the tunnel became a tourist attraction when the 'new' Elbtunnel and several bridges were built in the 1970s.

Currently, pedestrians and cyclists wishing to cross the river can take a free elevator into the depths, and cars can use hydraulically powered cages for a small fee.

The place also has exhibits on the brick walls and who photographers and bloggers love to visit the place.
