Jetty

Day excursion boats and large hotel and cruise ships with a length of up to 135 meters can tie up in Monheim am Rhein. The modern pier on the Rhine promenade is located not far from the old town and is an excellent starting point for exploring the city and the region.

The Piwipper Böötchen is a ferry that carries passengers and bicycles, and also stops at Monheim’s jetty. Between April and October, you can cross over to the Dormagen side of the Rhine on weekends and public holidays without getting your feet wet.

Do you want to know who is passing by us right now? Follow the Rhine south on this interactive map www.vesselfinder.com until you see Monheim am Rhein on the eastern bank. The small colorful arrows on the water symbolize passing ships, and when you click on them, the name of the ship is displayed. You can even cruise along virtually a bit and dream of sailing away to new shores.
