The double-leaf bascule bridge in Kappeln crosses the Schlei and connects the towns of Angeln and Schwansen.
Due to maintenance and repair work on the Schleibrücke bridge in Kappeln, the bridge passage will be closed from Monday, 13 October to Wednesday, 15 October.

Next week, crews who want to move their boat to winter storage on the Schlei or go out again must plan their passage in Kappeln accordingly.

According to the notice to mariners, adverse circumstances may make it necessary to change the dates at short notice.

Jill Grigoleit was born in Hanover in 1985. An early childhood memory is the large collection of YACHT and SURF magazines from her sailing and surfing enthusiast father. However, growing up in a small Swabian village on the Neckar, she had less to do with water sports in her childhood, apart from a few trips to the Baltic Sea with her family. After studying journalism in Bremen and Hanover, she went into television for a few years. Through a few lucky coincidences, she ended up on the water in 2011 and then returned to the written word professionally. For over ten years, she lived with her family on a houseboat in their own harbor south of Hamburg and wrote a book about houseboat building and life with children on the water. Since 2020, she has mainly been writing travel reports and features about people who live and work on and near the water for BOOTE. She has been a permanent member of the Delius Klasing water sports editorial team since January 2024.
