FRS Fähre Loreley - A short excursion into a long tradition
Over the centuries, the ferry service developed steadily. The introduction of the “flying bridge” was a significant step forward: Two large barges were connected to a platform and, anchored to a chain, shuttled between the banks.
And even today, there is still a ferry connection at this point in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley, which has been linking the towns of St. Goar and St. Goarshausen for decades - reliably, safely and in all weathers. But there is much more to this daily crossing than pure functionality: the Loreley ferry is a piece of living infrastructure history in one of the most challenging river regions in Europe.
The topography of the Middle Rhine Valley with its narrow river bends, changing current conditions and steep banks has always posed particular challenges for ferry operations. The design and control of the ferry has always had to be adapted to the local conditions - for example with special drive systems and flow-optimized technology. The number of passengers and transported goods on both sides of the shore also influenced the development and equipment of the ferry.
