The crossing is a nice change during the tour and you can enjoy a great view of the Danube and the landscape. It's good, very good that there is the opportunity to stop for refreshments, where you can combine the waiting time with a rest.

Very nice old spoke at the ferry terminal in Obermühl. Hopefully the memory will be preserved permanently.
