Many will think that this is, of course, Venice and will be wrong. Someone will say that in Amsterdam - and again by. London? No! There are more bridges in this city than in all these listed cities combined. Two and a half thousand large and small bridges across two rivers, on the banks of which this city is located.

The city where "The Beatles" began their career, the city after which the most popular dish in the world is named. I think you have already guessed that this is Hamburg - the second largest city in Germany.

WE CAME TO THE PORT TODAY

Hamburg is a major transport hub (railways and highways), as well as a sea and river (Elbe River) port. The seaport is the largest port in Germany, being the second largest in Europe after Rotterdam.

The port of Hamburg occupies a tenth of the city's territory - 75 square kilometers. The total length of the quay wall is 46 kilometers - this is about 300 berths for sea and ocean vessels.

The port is a sea port, although it is located on the banks of the Elbe River, not far from its confluence with the North Sea.

The port of Hamburg is perhaps the most important sight of the city, which you can devote the whole day to. What kind of ships you will not see here!

Cap San Diego- German bulk carrier built in 1962. Currently a museum ship. The dry cargo ship was nicknamed "the white swan of the Atlantic".
"San Diego" went to those "distant shores" about which the song about Brazil is sung.

The main attraction of the port of Hamburg is the museum sailboat "Rickmer Rickmers"(Rickmer Rickmers). She is one of the last large commercial shipping sailboats.

The sailboat was used to carry loads of rice and bamboo from the Far East, with coal from Wales to Chile, and from Chile to Germany with saltpeter.

One could still tell about the origin of the expression "Hamburg cock", but it will already be a completely different story.

Hamburg- the second (after Berlin) heart of Germany. Tourists visit it with pleasure, because here you can not only look at the numerous sights, but also just walk along the picturesque streets with pleasure. Gives a special flavor to the city a huge number of bridges across the Elbe River, which, according to various estimates, number from 2300 to 2500. In all of Europe, you will not find another city where so many bridges would be built: Hamburg, according to this indicator, "surpassed" Venice, Amsterdam and London combined.

One of the most famous bridges Hamburg - Köhlbrandbrücke. It was opened in 1974 and until 1991 it remained the largest in the world, because its span is 325 m wide and 3940 m long.

Among oldest bridges in Hamburg, Elbbrücke should be noted. In 1899 it was built for car traffic, but over time other bridges across the Elbe appeared. After the reconstruction, which took place from 1980 to 1985, the Elbbrücke is used as a pedestrian, in addition, cyclists and motorcyclists are allowed on it.

The Cattwick Bridge is famous for being the world's largest railway and road transport with a vertical lift, the height of which is 46 m. Car traffic is suspended for 8-10 minutes while the train is passing. In addition, the lift allows ships to pass through the bridge; on weekdays, traffic also stops every two hours in order to let ships pass.

Lombard and Kennedy bridges deserve special attention. How easy it is to guess railroad bridge The Lombard got its name after a corresponding institution was opened here in 1651. By the way, until 1865 the bridge was wooden. Next to the Lombard Bridge, another bridge was built in 1953. It was necessary because it was necessary to "unload" the flow of traffic that crossed the Alster lake. It was named after the American president later, in 1963, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

The historic Trostbrücke bridge, built in 1881, originally served as the border between the old and new cities of Hamburg. Stone statues of Count Adolf III, as well as Bishop Ansger, who is the founder of the city cathedral, are installed on the bridge.
