    The Pillnitz ferry (line F 14) runs on the Elbe between Kleinzschachwitz and Pillnitz.
    History [edit]


    As early as 1721, costs for a “flying ferry” in Pillnitz first appeared in surviving documents. However, it was only operated when King August the Strong was staying in Pillnitz Castle. For this purpose, the ferry was moved from Laubegast to Kleinzschachwitz each time.

    There has been a regular ferry connection between Kleinzschachwitz and Pillnitz since 1765. It was a yaw cable ferry. Until 1849, however, only members of the court were allowed to translate. The ferry operators, so-called pontonniers, i.e. military pioneers, were already housed on the left bank of the Elbe in today's ferry house. At that time the building was a small fort.

      One of the best beer gardens in Dresden. However, caution is advised as the road crosses the bike path.🚴‍♀️
