Always a pleasure to watch the boats on the Rhine. The constant back and forth can be observed particularly well in Langel. Here the ferry departs several times a day, 362 days a year and chauffeurs cars, two-wheelers and pedestrians from Cologne to Leverkusen. You can either sail over there yourself (very well suited for a circular tour by bike, for example) or you can watch the hustle and bustle from the terrace of the bistro "Zur Fähre" opposite.

Hiking

Due to the problems with the Leverkusen motorway bridge, people are often stuck in traffic here at the moment. Better to translate by bike or on foot.
After crossing, you can watch the ferry in Langel in the Restaurant zur Fähre with a pizza or enjoy the panorama in the beer garden in Hitdorf
