Be sure to check the departure times. The ferry has a long lunch break. It's a shame if you're on the side of the Weser where there is no beer garden.

There is a great location on the bank for a cycling break. Nice places to sit and a nice restaurant. From here you can watch the ferry traffic on the Weser in a very relaxed manner.
