The expanse of water at Lake Constance. - Vehicles with low clearance cannot board the ferry because of high water levels.
Because the steep incline, folks with vehicles that don't sit as high can't use the ferry between Meersburg and Konstanz. Christoph Pape, from the Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe in Konstanz, explained on Wednesday that the cause is due to the higher water level, which exceeds 4.90 meters. Consequently, the ferry has been raised and now has a too-steep entry for cars with very low clearance. "They can't climb it up anymore," Pape stated. For the past week, the water level was at 4.20 meters. We're watching the situation closely.
Six car ferries are in operation year-round on the 4.8-kilometer route between Meersburg and Konstanz. This sea shuttle, taking 15 minutes, avoids a 70-kilometer detour. The Bodensee district is beloved by tuners, and the Tuning World fair in Friedrichshafen draws many people annually.
