River crossing with the crank ferry over the Holtlander Ehetief If the Holtlander Ehetief was otherwise seen as a natural border, it can now be easily overcome using a crank ferry that anyone can operate by hand. A crank ferry that anyone can operate by hand enables cyclists and hikers to cross the Holtlander Ehetief easy to cross. The Holtlander Ehe was previously considered a natural border between Holtland and Filsum and is a special experience on tours through a wide natural landscape.
