Hovnäs ferry ready for new season after successful inspection

After a successful inspection, the Hovnäs ferry is soon ready to resume carrying passengers across the Dalälven. The ferry connects Dalarna and Västmanland, operating from spring to autumn.

The Hovnäs ferry was pulled onto land for inspection the other morning using a heavy lifter from Assistancekåren. The inspection went better than expected, according to Dala-Demokraten. "Better than I had thought", a person is quoted in the newspaper's headline.

The ferry crosses the Dalälven, linking Dalarna and Västmanland during the warmer months. It typically closes in winter and reopens in spring. It is now cleared for another season, as reported by avestatidning.com.

Eric Salomonsson is listed as the text author in the article. The ferry plays a key role in local transport in the area.
