A crossing of the Weser with the historic Varenholz-Veltheim high-rope ferry is not only an exciting experience for young and old, but also takes a lot off hikers and cyclists. This type of ferry is not only extremely environmentally friendly, since it does not have a propulsion engine, but it is also quiet, so that passengers can fully enjoy nature during the crossing.

From April to October
on weekends, public holidays and bridging days from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The new ferry has been in operation for some time now. It's nice and a lot more comfortable.

By the way, the old one is now a few kilometers away at the gravel pit and is a reminder of the good old days 😊
