Rollfähre Spitz-Arnsdorf, Reaction ferry across the Danube River in Lower Austria
The Rollfähre Spitz-Arnsdorf consists of two connected vessel bodies with a carrying capacity of 20 tons, operating without engine power using river currents.
The ferry system represents a traditional mode of river crossing that has connected the communities of Spitz and Arnsdorf for generations across the Danube.
The ferry cabin features an installation by artist Olafur Eliasson functioning as a camera obscura, transforming the crossing into an optical experience.
The ferry service operates daily from May to September with extended weekend hours, accepting only cash payments for crossings that take between 5 to 7 minutes.
A 485-meter steel cable anchored in towers on both riverbanks guides this vessel, which moves solely through the natural force of the Danube current.
