    The Weser ferry between Hävern and Windheim a tour highlight

    Translated by Google •

      October 23, 2024

      The Petra Solara, the only solar-powered ferry in NRW, connects in every respect: two villages, two banks of the Weser, people and nature, ecology with economy, the useful with the beautiful. The Petra Solara has been sailing between Hävern and Windheim for exactly 20 years, since August 2002. It revives a centuries-old ferry tradition (a ferry connection was mentioned at this point as early as 1548), which was still alive in both Weser villages 25 years after the old ferry connection ended (1976). It was the beginning of an unprecedented success story. Today the Petra Solara is more indispensable and popular than ever. And a very special experience!

        The crossing takes only a few minutes and is especially popular with cyclists and hikers. Check the times in advance, as operations are seasonal and weather dependent.
