Fährhaus Caputh, Ferry house restaurant near Lake Schwielowsee, Germany
Fährhaus Caputh is a former ferry house now operating as a restaurant, situated between Templiner See and Schwielowsee with views over the Havel River landscape. The building combines historic architecture with direct waterfront access.
The ferry landing developed in the 19th century as a necessary crossing point over the Havel and shaped the area's development as an important transport hub. The site later attracted visits from notable scientific figures working in the region.
The dining venue specializes in regional recipes that reflect the food traditions of the Havelland area, prepared using ingredients from local suppliers and farmers.
The venue offers tables on a waterfront pier terrace and in the surrounding garden, giving guests flexible seating options with varying views of the water. Wheelchair accessibility is limited, so it helps to check ahead which areas suit your needs best.
From the restaurant, visitors can watch the historic Tussy II cable ferry operating continuously to transport passengers across the Havel, making the river experience even more immediate. This working cable ferry remains a rare technical landmark that still functions as a public crossing today.
