Rhein ferry information
Do the ferries that run between towns on the Rhein (between St. Goar and St.
Goarhausen, or between Bingen and Rudesheim, for example), run back and forth continously, or is there a set schedule with just a few crossings per day? Fares? Do these ferries all accomodate cars? I am assuming these ferries are separate from the boats that cruise up and down the river -- I have those schedules. I am just wondering how easy -- or not -- it will be to get from one town to another across the river as we explore. |

Rhein ferry information
Just did this last month and it was great! I hopped on the Rhine at
Bophal to shorten the hours to Rudesheim to 4.5 (8.5 from Koblenz) then crossed the river via one of many ferries to Bingen and the main rail line on the west bank to depart area by train. I can only comment on 'KD' line which runs a regular schedule back and forth but there appear to be others including car ferries... Google... KD Rhine excursions are *free* to Eurail pass holders on a designated pass travel day right now as a bonus! http://www.k-d.com/engl/index.html Tim K "Suzan" wrote in message ...

Hope you've got a bit of German ........... http://www.bacharach.de/german/code/aktivvg/pg2.html if you go to this site and scroll down, there are timetables for most of the "Fähre" (ferries) across the river. The St Goar-St Goarshausen ferry is foot passengers + cars/buses: Bingen-Rüdesheim has separate ferries for vehicles and foot passengers. |

Rhein ferry information
Well my German is not all that good, but it from the site (Thanks for the
link) it appears that the ferries do go back and forth continuously, between the stated hours -- is that correct? "Keith Anderson" wrote in message ...

Should that read "Boppard"? Regards, ULF |

Some have fixed schedules - every xx minutes, others just go back and forth as they want or when they are full - including ones that have schedules. Waiting isn't normally a problem - quite intersting to see ship, ferry and train movements. Regards, ULF |

Yes - with the Bingen-Rüdesheim foot-passenger ferry(for example) , you shouldn't have to wait for more than about 20 minutes. As well as passenger and car ferries, plus the KD passenger services up and down the river, as well as local boat companies offering "there and back" excursions, there's a railway both sides of the river with hourly interval services.

Unless schedules have changed drastically since the last time I was current on this, at least some of them stop in several places before coming back to where they started. Someone on this list will certainly be able to tell you where to get a current schedule, I'm sure. -- Mary Loomer Oliver (aka Erilar) You can't reason with someone whose first line of argument is that reason doesn't count.
