Rhine

The ferries across the Rhine between St. Goar and St. Goarshausen, as well as between Ingelheim and Oestrich-Winkel, play a crucial role as important transport links in the Rhine region.
The ferry at the Loreley, with its long history as a crossing point for merchants, travelers, and locals, remains one of the most frequently used Rhine crossings today.
It spares travelers long detours via distant bridges and provides a fast, reliable, and scenic connection within the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
Whether for commuters, tourists, or cyclists, the ferry ensures smooth transportation and, with its regular schedule, is an indispensable part of the region’s infrastructure.

Similarly significant is the Rhine ferry between Ingelheim and Oestrich-Winkel, which has served as an essential link between the two towns since 1968.
Operating year-round, the ferry transports passengers, bicycles, and vehicles, offering a comfortable and efficient crossing with picturesque views of the Rhine.

Both ferry connections contribute significantly to mobility, tourism, and the regional economy.
