Attention: Due to the spearing of the swing bridge, cycling through the Überseehäfen is currently not possible! We recommend all cyclists in the Lohmannstraße to turn right into the Schleusenstraße, then left on the Barkhausenstraße to the customs gate Roter Sand and continue via the Franziussstraße and Brückenstraße to the intersection Am Erzhafen.
