Elbe ferries

The overview shows you all ferries in the Upper Elbe transport network, i.e. all ferry stops from the Czech border.

Most ferries do not run according to a strict timetable, but cross over as required.

You can get a rough timetable by clicking on the relevant ferry connection.

In the VVO timetable information, ferry connections are taken into account for calculation with "assumed" departure times, but the actual departure times may differ.
