Very beautiful area, highly recommended. Please note, however, that the ferry (pedestrians and cyclists only) only runs on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays/public holidays.

I honestly don't see it as a highlight for road bikers. Yes, it's always nice to cruise across the Rhine on a small ferry, and it's a short distance to the next bridge, but... I avoid taking the ferry with my road bike for two reasons: 1) The ferry is only open on certain days, even when excursions are expected. However, these very excursionists can sometimes lead to unpredictably long waits. I once stood in line here for over an hour. It's rather inconvenient if you don't need a break. 2) On the ferry itself, you're supposed to park your bike in a "Felgenbrecher" bike rack (see photos). Not something you'd want to do with expensive wheels. We've crossed here several times on the Hase Pino step tandem, and it was really nice. It's quite tight with the tandem, but it's manageable, and since the bike obviously doesn't fit in the Felgenbrecher, we've always been assigned a special spot. But I don't know if the ferry staff would be happy if a horde of racing cyclists all wanted special spots for their carbon rims...
