Autofähre Beckenried–Gersau, Car ferry on Lake Lucerne between Beckenried and Gersau, Switzerland
The ferry service crosses Lake Lucerne connecting the municipalities of Beckenried in Nidwalden canton with Gersau in Schwyz canton over a 4-kilometer route.
Established in 1930, the ferry service experienced a brief interruption during World War II before resuming operations to serve the growing transportation needs.
The ferry represents an essential connection point between different Swiss cantons, enabling regular exchanges between communities across Lake Lucerne throughout the seasons.
The twenty-minute ferry crossing saves travelers a fifty-kilometer detour by road, accommodating both vehicles and pedestrians with regular departures throughout the day.
The MV Tellsprung vessel, built in 1929 and renovated in 1963, continues to operate on this route, maintaining its original engineering characteristics.
