A reservation is not necessary, just arrive and sail on the next free ferry across the Elbe.
The crossing with the FRS Elbfähre is an experience, whether you're traveling by car, motorhome, truck, or bicycle. In about 25 minutes, you’ll cross the Elbe, one of the busiest waterways in the world, and have the chance to watch ships of all sizes – from sailboats to container ships. Onboard, you can also enjoy a fresh coffee or a Bockwurst. The ferry operates year-round and daily, making it ideal for travelers coming from various directions.
