A very special ferry: A yaw ferry that runs without a motor. It hangs on a rope and is driven by the current. Otherwise, it is like all ferries: do not forget small change and check the operating times.

Unlike other Elbe ferries, the ferry is not susceptible to low water. Journey time is approximately 5 minutes.
