The great public transport network stretches throughout town. It takes you almost everywhere!

My first blog entry is a small homage to the uniqueness of this town - water - and the environmentalism of the Germans i.e. public transports by water!

You can zig-zag your way by ferry on the Elbe for a day-trip or getting from a to z. See for schedules. (Depending how far out you will go you need a 1-5 zone ticket.)

If you like to make a day-tour than take your bike (or rent one) on the ferry and go all the way to Finkenwerder for a wonderful tour to the “Alte Land”, a paradise for leisure bikers on paved roads along the fields and among the many apple-trees. Get a guide from the bookstore (e.g. Thalia on Spitaler Straße by the main station) or see the Elbradweg website for tour and bike-rentals.

Enjoy the unique way of travelling!
