The landing stage was indicated as Spandau, Lindenufer ... when we clicked on it again, we realized that the meeting point was at Wannsee, Kronprinzessinenweg ... a bit confusing and we almost missed the ferry ... maybe they can change that for the next passengers ... otherwise it was very nice ...
