The Dolní Žleb Ferry is a cable ferry across the Elbe river at Dolní Žleb in the Děčín District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic.
Technically, the ferry is a reaction ferry, which is propelled by the current of the water. The ferry is attached to a floating cable which is anchored firmly in the riverbed upstream of the ferry. To operate the ferry, it is angled into the current, causing the force of the current to swing the ferry across the river on the cable.

Schöna is a station located on the grounds of Reinhardtsdorf-Schöna municipality, Saxony, Germany. It is the German station which is closest to, but not on, the border between Germany and the Czech Republic on the Děčín–Dresden-Neustadt railway. Bad Schandau and Děčín hlavní nádraží were border stations. There are a couple of sidings south of the station where the S1 can prepare to return towards Dresden.
There is hardly any access from the station to village of Schöna, which is outside the Elbe valley in southern direction. The station is more important to reach the village of Hřensko in the Czech Republic, which is just across the river and can be reached by ferry.
