Itinerary
The Elbe ferry Sandau (motor and yaw rope ferry) is operated by the city of Sandau (Elbe).
The Sandau motor and yaw rope ferry is not only a functional means of transport, but also a piece of regional tradition and history. Many people use it daily as part of their usual commuting routes or as part of tourist explorations of the region along the Elbe River. The Ferry Sandau is a popular means of crossing the Elbe, especially for cyclists on the Elbe Cycle Path.
Crossing with a yaw ferry is an experience every time. Because this type of ferries overcomes the rivers without motor power.
The yaw ferry in Sandau is suspended from a 500-meter-long cable that is attached to the bottom upstream. Due to the inclined position of the hull, the current pushes the Ferry across the 200-meter-wide river. This makes it possible to operate with low fuel consumption (engine operation only at high water).
The Elbe ferry Sandau is 36 meters long and 10 meters wide. It can transport up to 45 tons, or 12 cars, in one crossing.
