Boat Dock and Floating Dock Facility WSC Osten 

Boat Dock and Floating Dock Facility WSC Osten 
The floating dock facility with two piers provides guest slips marked in green. For safety reasons, boats over 13 m long with a tare weight of 7,000 kg cannot dock for safety reasons. Docking fees are collected in a letterbox on the pier. Showers and toilets can be found in the clubhouse next to the bridge. Power and water hookups are available right on the dock. Shopping and restaurants can be found in town. www.wsc-osten.de
Nearby behind the piers is a street bridge (pass-through width between the columns of the bridge is 50 m, pass-through height at medium high tide is 4.86 m and at medium low tide 7.13 m). This may stop boats with a standing mast from continuing on the Oste.
