    The Pretzsch ferry can be used to change to the Elbe Cycle Route on the right bank of the Elbe in the direction of Lutherstadt Wittenberg. It connects Pretzsch with the Jessen district of Mauken.
    A cable ferry is a type of ferry that uses the current of the river. The ferry hangs on a long wire rope that splits just before the vehicle. One end of the rope is attached to the bow and one to the stern of the ferry. The wire rope is anchored on the river bank so that the fairway remains clear and is marked with a buoy for shipping. By changing the length of the ends relative to each other, the angle of attack of the ferry to the current changes. The pressure of the incoming water pushes it onto the bank. The rope ends are now adjusted using motor power, otherwise the ferry does not need a motor.

      The ferry connects the towns of Pretzsch and Mauken, crossing by man and bike for 1.50 euros.

        A ferry ride is always worthwhile, especially since the prices are quite low. Always an experience.
