Crossing

Ferry in Qalay-i-Zal, a district in Kunduz province: The ferry is something like the "taxi of water" – only without a honking driver and air conditioning. Since there are hardly any bridges, she brings brave travellers, cozy donkeys and sometimes a few chickens safely across the river. Especially in the rainy season, when the roads become more like mud baths, the ferry is often the only way not to arrive on the other bank with wet feet. So a crossing is not only practical, but also a little adventure – free thrills included! | Afghanistan
