General Info
Brunsbuttel lies on the northern bank of the River Elbe at the entrance to the Kiel Canal.
Position: 53° 53.05′ N, 9° 7.81′ E (Kiel Canal entrance)
Clearance
This is a Port of Entry.
See the main Noonsite/Germany/Formalities page for full details of clearance.
Docking
Good shelter in Alter Hafen (Old Port marina), which is a drying harbour with access 3hr +/- HW. It is just north of the locks.
A lock gives access to the canal and the Kanal-Yachthafen which is on the north side of the large Neue locks. It gets very crowded in season and due to the amount of canal traffic, it is not a peaceful berth, but useful.
There is a second yacht haven about half a mile further along the canal.
There are no moorings in the waiting area for the canal.
The town has a hospital, banks, post office, provision shops and a train station.
