Translate as in the past: As early as 1442, a cable ferry crossed the Danube between Weltenburg and Stausacker. The world Abbot Abbot Konrad granted the crossing rights, however, only for holidays and holidays, for pilgrims and visitors to the monastery Weltenburg and the Frauenberg Chapel. In 1684, the overpass of Abbot John was first granted as inheritance law. In 1956, the neighboring communities formed a ferry company to maintain the ferry service for everyone. Today it belongs to the city Kelheim and is operated by a servant of the city.
A special experience is the ferryboat ferry service, whether hikers, cyclists, guests with motorcycles or cars - all can be found on the ferry.
