The small passenger ferry, on which bicycles can also be taken, is operated privately by the Elbterrassen hotel and restaurant opposite. https://www.elbterrassen.de/ The operating times are not fixed. It is definitely advisable to book in advance.

The food is good and it's not expensive - it's also the last place you'll find a toilet before you get to either Wörlitz or Oranienbaum.

Story The name Leiner Berg (Glyner Berg) as well as the Leiner See derive from a desert village or a ministerial castle Glin (Lords of Glyn 1237–1335). Traces of this original settlement were found during forestry work as early as 1900. To the north and east of Lake Leiner and the Löbben, once a popular excursion and bathing destination and now just a swamp area, there is a richly structured forest and meadow landscape with centuries-old solitary willows and oaks and many hiking trails.

The Leiner Berg is a former dune on the Elbe in the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Kingdom[1]. The Leiner Berg forester's house is located on this hill. It was built in 1830 by the grandson of Franz's father, Leopold IV. Today it belongs to the Vockerode district of the town of Oranienbaum-Wörlitz. The building, built in the Swiss style, is located about 3 km east of the Mulde and about 2 km north of the village of Nauendorf (now the Waldersee district of the town of Dessau-Roßlau).
