Without the drive of engines or sailing, the "fairytale ferry" on the Weser near Lippoldsberg glides from one bank to the other.

The fuselage ferry hangs on thick steel cables and the current of the Weser provides the necessary thrust that the ferryman uses to reach the other riverbank with the help of his rudder.

Even if you don't actually plan to use the ferry - just take the time and sail over! Another way to take a break, there is also a lot to see in Lippoldsberg ;-)

together with all other ferries on my tour, the tour can be lengthened or shortened very variably. By the way, all the ferries were in operation.
