Tips & Advice

  • Bring your SKG Card if you have one, because adults with the card pay less for both round trips and single crossings.
  • Check the weather before you go, because the Fuschlerin only sails in dry weather with normal wind conditions.
  • Choose a single trip if you only want to cross one way, because the boat sails in both directions between the lakeside promenade and the castle fishery.
  • Dress warmly for a winter crossing on the lake, especially if you're booking the round trip.
