The museum village is always worth a visit. But now the entrance is on the other side of the village.

The ferry to Zahorska Ves in Slovakia is one of the few ways to cross the border. There used to be a ferry in Drösing, but it disappeared with the Iron Curtain and was later no longer activated. Angern remained and is often used by cyclists. Because the EV13 also leads south on the Slovakian side.
