Gräpel Oste Ferry

Highlight • Bridge

The ferry is simply unique. No engine, but muscle power takes you across! Register for the crossing with a bell.

View of the Oste River and windmill near Hechthausen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, you have to walk this part of the way along the busy main road. But you have this wonderful view of the Oste with the old mill and the small sports boat harbor.

I highly recommend this tour and …
