Oste ferry terminal

The ferry pier on the Oste in Gräpel is a destination for excursionists and visitors to the local shooting festival. Located in the middle of a natural idyll, the jetty has now been made accessible for the small pedestrian and bicycle ferry "Püttenhüpper" of the "Geesthof" holiday park in Hechthausen, thus connecting the districts of Stade and Cuxhaven for tourism. A large lakeside terrace with a view of the river will serve as a seating area in the future and can also be used to line up shooters and as a backdrop for group photos of clubs.

However, many animals and insects also live in the shore area of the Oste. For the lighting of the jetty, animal protection and the "Dark Sky" concept were therefore the focus of the planning from the very beginning. The LEDLUX LED lines from InstaLighting, integrated directly into the handrail of the railing, are characterised by excellent glare control and precise light direction. This way, the light only goes where it is supposed to and leaves the habitat of animals untouched. At the same time, the light ensures maximum safety and creates a magical atmosphere on the river in the evening hours.
