Wittow Ferry, Ferry route in Vorpommern-Rügen District, Germany.
The Wittower Ferry connects the mainland of Rügen Island with the Wittow peninsula through a 350-meter wide channel between Wieker Bodden and Breetzer Bodden.
The ferry service began operations in 1896 alongside a narrow gauge railway line from Bergen to Altenkirchen, initially using two vessels named Wittow and Bergen.
The ferry landing stages at Wittower Fähre mark gathering points where maritime traditions continue through local events and community activities.
The ferry terminal accommodates vehicles up to 30 tons and maintains regular crossings between the southern shore near Vaschvitz and the northern peninsula throughout the day.
During winter freezes, the ferry channel remains unfrozen due to strong currents from Great Jasmund Bodden, creating a natural sanctuary for water birds.
