September 1, 2023, Missunde Ferry Across the Schlei

A small update on the ferry. The old ferry is currently still running, but this will soon be replaced by a solar ferry. The price of the ferry with a bicycle has increased to 1.50 euros. Still reasonable, in my opinion.

For currently 1.5 euros per bike with a person you can get across. Luckily the old ferry is still running

A beautiful path between Kappeln and Arnis with a view of the Schlei (narrow, angled path that hikers and cyclists have to share).

The bridge always opens at a quarter to. Can be found beautiful (looks impressive, you can take photos) or not (long lines of cars and bikes) The small pedestrian zone is definitely worth a visit!

The herring fence is one of the landmarks of the city of Kappeln. It was built in the 15th century and is therefore over 500 years old. In Europe it is considered to be the last witness of an earlier common fishing method. Left the old fence ... right the restored fence.
