Parking: Parking lot at the ferry port
After a visit to the Schäfer bakery, we followed the circular route through the Hammer Aue (G 2) from the ferry port.
According to the map we walked over the water once, in fact we walked dry-shod on the riverbed. It is very frightening how low the water level is.
