This the ferry that crosses the Rhine. Its covered in knitwork art which was the theme in town that time. The ferry moves through the current of the Rhine. The cable that is attached to it, makes sure there is control. After strolling around town for a while, taking the ferry is a nice change which doesn't cost much.
