Can you take the Scandlines ferry to Germany on foot or by bike?
Walk or cycle on board without a car.
Short answer
Yes, both Scandlines routes take foot passengers and cyclists. As of November 2026 a 1-day return ticket on foot costs 85 DKK on Rødby–Puttgarden and 115 DKK on Gedser–Rostock. If you bring a bicycle, you buy a bike supplement of 20 DKK on top of the passenger ticket. Foot passengers and cyclists have their own check-in times in the ports, separate from cars.
Why
- 85 DKK return on foot from Rødby.
- 115 DKK return on foot from Gedser.
- A bike costs 20 DKK extra.
Details
BorderShop has shops next to the ferry in both Puttgarden and Rostock, open every day including Sundays.
Tip
Check the separate check-in time for foot passengers and bikes before you leave home, as it differs from the car lanes.
What may differ
Ticket prices can change with demand, so check the price for your date.
Common misconception
The ferries to Germany only take cars and lorries.
What actually happens
Both routes sell tickets for foot passengers, and bikes can come on board with a supplement.
