With the growing popularity of Saxon Switzerland as a travel destination, the ferry was modernized and motorized over time, without losing its traditional character.Today, the Bad Schandau ferry invites visitors to walk in the footsteps of history, experience the impressive river landscape from a unique perspective and be enchanted by the peace and beauty of the Elbe.
