Hitzacker Ferry

Highlight • Structure

The small ferry looks quite funny and for a few kilometers it is the only way for cyclists or hikers to cross the Elbe.

Former Inner German Border Watchtower and Fence Remains

Highlight • Monument

Not only this border tower: the whole section of the route runs along the old inner German border. Much of this reminds us. From old frontier buildings like this one to information boards on some ferries - here you will be able to experience a bit of German history.

Elbe Ferry Bleckede–Neu Bleckede

Highlight • Rest Area

With the Elbe ferry Bleckede you can get quickly and cheaply across the Elbe (person € 1.00, bicycle € 0.50). All other Elbe ferries known to me (these are all ferries between Lauenburg and Wittenberge) are significantly more expensive (the ferry at Hitzacker costs the most: € 1.50 per person and € 1.30 per bike). The employees on the Elbe ferry Bleckede are always very nice when I e.g. Once I took the ferry from Bleckede to Neu Bleckede and had to go back to Bleckede shortly afterwards (to buy repair kit), the ferryman took me along free of charge (on the grounds that I was already unlucky enough today). I like to use this ferry again and again.

The Elbe ferry Bleckede takes you to the other side of the river for a mere 1 euro per person and 50 cents per bike. The ferry runs at regular intervals throughout the day. You can find the exact times at: bleckede.de/home/verkehr-umwelt/verkehr/elbfaehre.aspx
