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.
