The most environmentally friendly solution for a ferry. It uses the power of water and can thus be driven from side to side without a motor.
The VVO tariff does not apply to the ferry. An extra ticket must be purchased on / on the ferry. (As of April 2016: adult € 1, discount € 0.50 one-way, € 1.80 / € 0.80 return)
