    ... and there is the ferry to the parking lot...
    Only with hydropower, completely silent and beautiful

      The way it translates here is very interesting. Without the ferry's own energy, you can cross from bank to bank here. Hydropower makes it possible.

        Prices in March 2023: €1.50 per trip. This is affordable and did our tour good to use the ferry twice (1x in Sehlen, 1x in Rathen).

          This is a yaw cable ferry, which is moved exclusively by hydropower.

            Ample parking and then cross over with the very sustainable ferry, which is only operated by the current of the water - a great tour start 😍

              Wehlen is a so-called country town in Saxon Switzerland. It lies on the railway line from Dresden to Prague and in the heart of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, making it a starting point for hikes to destinations such as the Bastei, the Rathen Rock Stage, the Bärenstein and Rauenstein, as well as the Wehlen and Uttewalder Grund.

              Saxon Switzerland is the name given to the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony.

              Rathen is a spa town located below the rocky backdrop of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland, approximately 35 kilometers from Dresden.

              Both Wehlen and Rathen have a passenger ferry across the Elbe and a rail connection to Dresden, among other places! So you can easily reach the Elbe Sandstone Mountains!
