Old Elbe Tunnel
Introduction Built in 1911, it is a 426-meter-long tunnel beneath the Elbe River. Pedestrians and vehicles enter a building with a copper-domed rotunda, descend about 20 meters by elevator, cross tiled tracks, and then ascend back to the surface on the other side.
The Old Elbe Tunnel leads to Steinwerder Island, where most of the loading and unloading of ships traveling to and from Hamburg takes place.
Crossing the Elbe River and looking back from a high vantage point, the silhouette of the harbor and the city is truly captivating. Transportation Take the subway and get off at Landungsbrücken Station.
Hamburg, Germany
