A small update on the ferry. The old ferry is currently still running, but this will soon be replaced by a solar ferry. The price of the ferry with a bicycle has increased to 1.50 euros. Still reasonable, in my opinion.

Wonderfully quiet area for cycling. You can really enjoy nature. Although sometimes the tree roots under the asphalt make themselves felt. Of course, only for short sections

For currently 1.5 euros per bike with a person you can get across. Luckily the old ferry is still running

A place worth seeing with its white houses. Also suitable as a starting point for cycling tours in Schwansen and on the Schlei. In 2022 the parking lot was still free of charge. Coming early secures a parking space with a rear carrier.
