    Tips

    February 8, 2022

    A little adventure awaits you here on the Lippe. From April to October, pedestrians and cyclists can pull themselves to the other side of the river with the ferry. A great experience, especially for children. Make sure you don't head for the ferry too late in the evening, as it will eventually get chained up. You can use them from sunrise to sunset. You can find more information about the ferry here: hamm.de/radtouristik.

      Lippe ferry "LUPIA" at Oberwerries Castle in Hamm (main route in the area between the Lippeauen loop and the moated castle loop)
      The ferry can usually be used between sunrise and sunset. LUPIA is put on the chain overnight and even taken out of the water in the event of a flood.
      From November 1st, 2021 to March 31st, 2022, "Lupia" will be out of service and will be up and running again from April 1st, 2022.

        The way from Oberwerries Castle to the Lippeauen with crossing to the other side of the Lippe is a pleasure. This requires muscular strength. The nature reserve is pure relaxation, whether on foot or by bike. The paths are easy to walk on and well-maintained. It's fun to walk through nature here.

          The cable ferry across the Lippe at Castle Werries operates only from April to October.

            The ferry is chained in the evening, so be careful because the next bridge is far.

              Great ferry to drive yourself.
              I'm traveling alone so pulling and crossing the ferry with the chain was a real challenge. But it was great fun and my muscles were also challenged.

                Lupina is an experience. But is taken out of service in the winter months.

                  When you're alone, it's a bit exhausting, but doable and a little adventure 👍🧙

                          On April 25, 2013, the ferry was officially named "Luia". This was preceded by a naming competition in which many Hamm residents took part. The choice fell on Lupia, the Roman name for the Lippe, because the ferry connection across the river is also part of the Roman-Lippe route. Just like the Romans, the passengers on the Lippe ferry have to rely on muscle power. There is no ferryman.

                                This small, hand-operated ferry is definitely not to be missed. Always beautiful ;-)

                                      It can only be used by at least two people and requires pulling power, but it is absolutely beautiful. You (woman) have to see it and try it out.
