In the course of the county road 32 east of the ruins in Polle a yaw ferry operated. The Weser ferry operates between the village of Polle and the district of Heidbrink. The ferry service was started in 1905. Owner of the ferry has been the district of Holzminden since 1994. The ferry is leased in the 4th generation by the Winter family. The technical entertainment is provided by the district of Holzminden.

Is always a small highlight with the Weserfähre translate and also the great view of the castle ruins

A special experience:
Cross the Weser with the pure power of water without propulsion.
Located directly under the castle ruins, the Poller ferry is a popular photo opportunity for motor and bicycle tourists who cross the river at this point.
Yaw ferries, of which there are only very few left on the Weser, do not need their own drive.
By inclining against the current, the flat ferry yaws along the high rope over the river.
The Gierseilfähre Polle can transfer vehicles up to 40 tons.
The ferry generally runs all year round.
Estimated visit time: 5 minutes crossing.
Technical specifications:
Design: Closed steel ferry body
Shipyard: Arminius shipyard in Bodenwerder
Year of construction: 1988
Usable area: 21 meters long and 4 meters wide
permissible total weight: 42 tons
Empty draft: 0.80 meters
