background
getting there
By road or by train

Drivers who want to leave their car on the mainland can park it in the shipping company's operations or in the Frisia garages. The parking spaces there are partially monitored and cost € 4 per day. A parking space in a garage costs € 5 per day. A shuttle bus to the ferry terminal costs € 1.50 per trip. Infants travel for free. The walk to the ferry terminal takes around 10 to 15 minutes.

A prior reservation is not necessary on arrival, on departure a parking space for a car must be reserved with the shipping company (can also be done in good time by e-mail).
By boat
Since the ferry Runs every hour in the high season, so you don't have to worry about the timetable. Pedestrians (including disabled passengers) can easily board the ship via a ramp. Drivers and cyclists are responsible for bringing their vehicle onto the ferry via an extra car dock. The crossing takes about 55 minutes. It is seldom full on the ferry as it drives a lot. There is a restaurant and toilets, which are right next to the engine room on most of the shipping company's ships, so that parents should accompany small children as they are often scared. However, the view from the ferry is interesting in any weather. When getting off there is usually a crowd, but this is unnecessary as the buses only leave when everyone has boarded. Taxis are short distances on the island and can be returned quickly; Those who take their time at the pier will definitely be promoted to their vacation home.
