Weserfähre Großenwieden

The "yawing" technique utilizes the kinetic energy of the flowing water to achieve the movement of a floating object perpendicular to the direction of flow. By utilizing the river current, the yaw rope ferry requires considerably less energy than a motor ferry without significantly extending the crossing times.

The ferry in Großenwieden is operated by the district of Hameln-Pyrmont and is a tourist attraction, especially for cyclists who use the Weser long-distance cycle path!
