MAY WE INTRODUCE OURSELVES
CONTACT
Join us on a cycle tour around the port. An extensive network of 45 km of cycle routes will take you through the
fascinating world of the port in all its diversity. You’ll be
able to watch the loading and unloading of containers
or cross impressive bridges from various centuries, enjoy
a glimpse into the history of the port at the port museum
or take a rest at one of the many viewpoints.
The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) is a commercially
oriented institution under public law. With a workforce of
about 1,800 employees, it manages all duties related to
the area of the port of Hamburg.
For general information, call us on:
Phone: +49 40 42847 - 0
Fax: +49 40 42847 - 2325
The port cycle event route (Hafenerlebnisroute) allows
you to create your very own tour exactly as you wish.
Explore the port of Hamburg on a day trip and discover
the diversity it has to offer. Or pick sections of the route
that interest you most. It is completely up to you where
you start or finish your tour. All S-Bahn stations adjacent
to the port area as well as the Finkenwerder ferry jetty
are located directly on the route.
When you plan your tour, make sure to bring sufficient
food and drinks. The port is not designed to cater for
tourists’ needs and gastronomic services are not available
everywhere. Moreover, the port is an industrial site so cycle route conditions may not be perfect at some places yet.
Please note: No trespassing – keep off the container
terminal areas! Signposting along the port cycle event
route will be fully installed by the end of 2012.
PORT CYCLE EVENT ROUTE
Among these duties are port planning and port development, maintenance of the port infrastructure, guaranteeing
the required fairway depths as well as ensuring the safety
of navigation. The institution is in charge of around 300 km
of rail tracks, 147 bridges, 150 km of roads and 51 km of
quay walls as well as tunnels, locks and lighthouses.

The HPA offers its customers an all-purpose port, located
120 km far into the inland, with competitive site advantages.
It is the owner of most of the port land and leases it out to
enterprises of the port industry on a long-term basis.
When performing the duties, the management of the
HPA takes care to strike a balance between ecology and
economy. The port disposes of excellent hinterland
connections, whereby the modal-split share of cargo
moved by rail and inland waterway carriers is growing.
