A charming little cable ferry that lets you cross the Neckar between Ladenburg and Neckarhausen. Check the timetable before you go, as it doesn't run all day or in all seasons, and have small change ready for the fare.

The Neckarhausen ferry has connected the two banks of the Neckar between Edingen-Neckarhausen and Ladenburg for centuries. Its history dates back to 1483, making it one of the oldest ferry connections on the Neckar. Today, the ferry is not only a practical means of transport for pedestrians, cyclists, and cars, but also a small piece of living transport history. Since 2020, it has been operated by the municipality of Edingen-Neckarhausen. For cyclists on the Neckar tour, the short crossing is particularly appealing: a few minutes on the water, a view of the Neckar – and you're already on the other side. The ferry is therefore not only a connection between two places, but also a beautiful change of pace on a cycling tour along the river.

A scenic riverside path along old stone walls beside the Neckar. Calm and shaded, it's a lovely stretch to ride slowly and enjoy the water views. The path is smooth and suitable for road bikes.

Unfortunately, when you drive along the banks of the Neckar, you won't notice or see the town hall. So you won't get to enjoy the ice cream either.

From the cycle path along the Neckar there is a staircase up to the Stone Table.
