CDU politician require quick solution after 50 days of ferry arrest!

The ferry between Neu Darchau and Darchau has been quiet for over 50 days, which not only causes anger, but also has far -reaching effects on the local population. This was reported by the CDU MP Anna Bauseneick and Uwe Dorendorf on July 1, 2025. The MPs sharply criticize the red-green state government and accuse their failures in the transport connection of the Lower Saxony region. The current situation forces students to invest hours for school every day, while craftsmen and local companies lose valuable time, orders and thus their perspectives.

The demand for a firm crossing of the Elbe is getting louder, since the need for a reliable transport connection between the two bank pages is clear. "If there is no regular ferry, this affects the formation of our children and the economic development here on site," said one of the voices from the CDU. Here it becomes clear that the need for improvement in transport links is the focus of both educational purposes and for strengthening the regional economy.

The importance of the ferries for the Elberadweg

But not only the direct connection is essential, the ferries along the Elbe Cycle Path are also an important part for cyclists. The entire Elberadweg extends over several sections ranging from Cuxhaven to Hradec Králové. The transitions are particularly attractive for cyclists because they offer the opportunity to continue on the opposite bank of the Elbe. The use of greed rope ferries ensures that no external energy source is needed, which makes the crossings sustainable. In addition, they often offer unique views and the opportunity to take wonderful memory photos.

The ferry fees are usually between € 2.00 and € 3.50 per person and bicycle, which makes use for leisure activities lucrative. Shipping is not only practical, but also an experience: many animal species and impressive river landscapes can be discovered during the crossing. This makes the ferries a real treasure for everyone who wants to enjoy nature along the Elbe. But the decommissioning of the connection between Neu Darchau and Darchau ensures incomprehension among many cyclists and leisure guests, since the lack of connection can reduce the enjoyment of the region.

A call to action

The current situation thus forces everyone involved to work for a quick solution. The CDU politicians not only call for a restoration of the ferry connection, but are actively committed to the development of a fixed Elbe crossing in order to sustainably improve the infrastructure. Visitors, students and entrepreneurs on site can only hope that the political pressure on the state government will soon bear fruit. Because the need is clear, and the people in the region need a reliable connection to continue to be able to live and work well.
