Stock Photo - The old Rheinfahre between Rhinau in Alsace and Kappel in Baden at the German jetty on 9.7.1997. The ferry will be replaced the next year by a new, larger ferry. The road link, once created to enable the Alsatian farmers to cross and manage the Auwalder and meadows on the German side of the Rhine, which are still in Alsace today, is today an important link between Alsace and Baden. Frequent defects in the ferry and a much higher traffic volume, especially by French visitors to the nearby Europapark in Rust, make the purchase of a larger ferry necessary. After initial difficulties with financing, the French government now agrees to pay for the purchase and maintenance. | usage worldwide. - Kappel/Baden-Württemberg/Deutschland
