It’s roughly a ten-minute walk from Boppard train station to the town’s ferry terminal. From Filsen train station, you can reach the ferry terminal in around 20 minutes by foot. On the right-hand side of the Rhine, the RMV 575 bus also stops by the ferry terminal – look out for the “Filsen Fähre Boppard” (Filsen Ferry Boppard) stop. The 575 bus goes from Braubach to St. Goarshausen via Osterspai, Filsen, Kamp-Bornhofen and Kestert.
On the left-hand side of the Rhine, in the Boppard area, there are several bus stops close to the ferry terminal: these are served by the 611, 614, 615, 650 and 651 buses. Boppard Central Station is also very close by. From there, you can access regional express and regional trains, as well as some InterCity departures (those travelling the left-hand Rhine route) and a connection to Emmelshausen on the Hunsrück train line.
