Discover Lottstetten: Ferry, cycle route and distant views

Lottstetten offers several specific travel connections: a cable ferry connects the district of Nack with Ellikon in Switzerland, the railway station is served by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), and the Rhine Cycle Route passes through the town. In clear weather, views from Lottstetten stretch to the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The ferry, train, cycle route and distant views offer different perspectives on your stay.

Ferry between Nack and Ellikon

The cable ferry connects Nack, a district of Lottstetten, with Ellikon in Switzerland. It operates from 1 April to 15 October, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 12:45 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The two time slots include a midday break, so plan your crossing within the stated hours. As the ferry operates seasonally, check with the operator for current service before travelling. If your trip includes a crossing, both the time of year and the time of day are important factors in your planning.

Train travel and planning

Lottstetten railway station is served by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). Trains on the Singen/Schaffhausen–Zurich route run hourly. This gives you an indication of train frequency; check current departures before travelling to confirm your specific connection. Unlike the ferry, which is subject to seasonal operation and set time slots, the hourly service offers a different way to plan your timing. You can therefore consider the two transport options according to their respective schedules, without treating them as the same connection.
