VIII.7. Safety regulations of ferries.

Cable ferries and the cables/ropes are forbidden to approach within 50 m.

It is also forbidden to go under ferry cables/ropes. The tour leader is to warn the ferry staff of the approaching boat/ship and of the necessity of lowering the rope.  

The tightened rope has to be signalled by a blinking yellow light on the side of the ferry which is the nearest to the waterway.   The lowered rope is signalled by a white flag on a flagpost tilted at 45 grade, at night it is signalled by white light.
