Alter Elbtunnel

Bei den St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken 7 (Nordeingang), Hamburg view map

The tunnel consists of two parallel tubes with a length of 426.5 meters. The tubes lie 24 meters below the water surface.
To save space, a unique concept without long ramps was chosen. Instead, gigantic vertical shafts with enormous elevators were built on both island sides. Cars, carriages, and pedestrians were brought down by elevators.
Still open to pedestrians and cyclists (free).
