It's brown and the scenery is ugly. Count the trains rumbling by on both
sides of the river for fun.

Visit the Mosel instead.

In mid October (2 weeks from now) I am supposed to take a Rhine River
cruise from the Netherlands to Switzerland. I am getting many stories
about low river (lowest in over 100 years), and even cruise boats not
being able to go from the southern Rhine to north of Mainz. Can
anyone give me the actual situation re river cruise boats along the
Rhine. For example, are parts of the river actually closed to river
cruise ships, and if so which parts? Part of the trip was also to be
a short excursion down the Mosel as well. I am thinking of cancelling
this trip. Thanks in advance for any up-to-date information.
