The ferry will not run until Easter 2025. We drove to Wesel and north to Rees to use the bridges.

It's always nice to cross the Rhine on a small ferry! And it's already a short distance to the next bridge (Wesel or Rees) or ferry (also Rees or Orsoy/Walsum), so you can plan nice tours with two Rhine crossings. Unfortunately, the ferry also has two disadvantages that should not go unmentioned: 1) The ferry is only open on certain days, even when excursions are expected. However, these very excursionists can sometimes cause unpredictably long waits. I once waited in line for over an hour. 2) On the ferry itself, you're supposed to park your bike in a "Felgenbrecher" brand bike rack (see photos). Not something you'd want to do with expensive balance bikes. We've crossed here several times on the Hase Pino step tandem, and it was really nice. It's quite tight with the tandem, but it's manageable, and since the bike obviously doesn't fit into the rim breakers, we were always assigned a special spot. I don't know if the ferry staff likes it when a horde of road cyclists all want to have special spots for their carbon rims... In any case, I avoid the ferry when I'm on a road bike. But if you're not worried about your rims and don't mind a possible unforeseen wait, the ferry is a real highlight!

Here, too, the Rhine is a real eye-catcher. Even more interesting in the evening glow and at dusk.

The Bislicher Island is one of the last large Rhine floodplain areas in Germany and an important nature reserve near Xanten. It offers a protected habitat for rare bird species such as wild geese, cranes and sea eagles. In addition to extensive wet meadows and oxbows of the Rhine, there are well-developed hiking trails and observation points for nature lovers and photographers. It is a hotspot for migratory birds, especially in winter. 🌿🐦 📷

That's right, you can charge your e-bike there. But it is much better that, depending on the time of day, you can have coffee and cake or a great evening meal in the Restaurant zur Arche while charging. The Götterswickerhammer fish plate is highly recommended!
