Church of the Holy Cross (Klöden)

Highlight • Religious Site

The church in Klöden is the oldest Romanesque church in the Wittenberg region. A magnificent brick building, which is located on the highest point of the village. Nearby is the Klöden Riß, an old arm of the Elbe.

Pretzsch Ferry

Highlight • Structure

The Pretzsch ferry can be used to switch to the right-bank Elbe Cycle Route in the direction of Lutherstadt Wittenberg. It connects Pretzsch with the Jessen district of Mauken.
A reaction ferry is a type of ferry that uses the river's current. The ferry is suspended on a long wire rope, which splits shortly before the vehicle. One end of the rope is attached to the bow and one to the stern of the ferry. The wire rope is anchored on the riverbank so that the fairway remains clear and is marked with a buoy for shipping. By changing the length of the ends relative to each other, the angle of the ferry to the current changes. The pressure of the incoming water pushes it to the bank. The adjustment of the rope ends is done today by motor power; otherwise, the ferry does not require an engine.
