    It's a beautiful place here, but unfortunately the ferryman in Gräpel is closed on Wednesdays.

      About ten kilometers north of Bremervörde, the Oste meanders through a gentle geest landscape. Far from large settlements and traffic, the river valley is ideal for hiking. The barge ferry in Gräpel is a perfect example. When passengers ring the bell on the west bank, opposite the "Zum Osteblick" inn, innkeeper and ferryman Stefan Plate takes action, ferrying passengers, bicycles, and sometimes even a car across the river. This is done gently and silently: the barge, built around 1918, is pulled across the water by hand using a chain anchored in the ground.
