Alter Elbtunnel

5 Mali Blunt (Mali) - a month ago

Huge, historic tunnel. Definitely worth seeing, and walking the distance that goes under the waterway. We went during a weekday, which I believe accounts for it being the amount of busy to educate yourself on how the locals utilize the tunnel, but not so busy that the the paths is immovable. The stairs and elevator up and down, give you a good feel to just how deep the tunnel goes. And yes, if you want to bike it, there is a special elevator for the bikers as well as one for pedestrians. The stairs are manageable too if you don't have a fear of heights. Just be mindful of the bikers pedestrians.

A must go place. The lift takes you down, and is huge. The tunnel is approximately 500 meters long and you can easily walk or take a bike there. It is open for public, but do mind the Lift stops at 20:00 and after that You will have to take the stairs which could really be tiring. The tunnel is sometimes cold so make sure you wear an overcoat when you get in there. The view of the city from the port side is really amazing. Must go place if you are in Hamburg.

Interesting, historical tunnel to get from central Hamburg to the docks and shipyards on the other side.
The old lifts are super cool. Worth walking through the tunnel to the other side where you'll get a lovely view of Hamburg.

Elbtunnel is currently under renovation.(9/2022) One of the two tubes under the river Elbe is already done. The distance from shore to shore is 426m. This historic construction is a must do for every visitor! - No Ticket needed -
Walking to the south side will give you a beautiful view on Hamburg’s skyline!!

Amazing experience. German technology at its beautiful best since 1911. Free entry. Great concept for walking and cycling incorporated. Reminds me of the Blackwall Tunnel but with access for pedestrians and cyclists. I would definitely recommend to visit for nice pictures.

It is an amazing experience, walking under the Elbe river. The construction and technology are great. Must see if you're in Hamburg.
Take the stairs going down and take the lift to go up on the other side! The huge lift feels strange at first but it's pleasantly nice.

Incredible construction and beautiful place to visit both as historical remarc, architecture milestone or as a part of the city.

At other side of the river is view point which is worth of traveling two time (toward and back) through this beautiful tunel.
