A great idea to float over the Niers instead of building a simple bridge. When we arrived across the river, a black cat was waiting there and boarded the ferry. Whether she has been waiting for a crossing ;-)

I think it's nice that there are different ways of crossing the Niers. Here it is a transporter ferry, sometimes a ferry where you pull yourself through water, sometimes an old railway bridge, sometimes a wooden, steel or concrete bridge.

While this "thing" does not look very trustworthy, it does its job.
Just get into the gondola and use the power of your own arms to crank yourself and your bike on the opposite bank of the Niers .. !!
