Kriebstein Dam passenger fleet
The dam is navigated by a total of five ships. You can choose between round trips on the MS "Kriebstein" or "Hainichen" and scheduled trips on the MF "Lauenhain" or "Höfchen". Experiencing the longest-serving ship, the MF "Mittweida", is something very special, as it is no longer in constant use.
Both ferries make it possible to get to know the dam more intensively and combine hikes with a boat trip. Taking bicycles and dogs on board is no problem.
