We arrived in
Weltenburg and visited an old church - sorry no photos as it was
too dark inside. Then we took a a ferryboat from the church back
to our cruise ship.
This is ferry
that took us on the half hour ride back to
town where our ship was moored
The ferryboat
ride back to town
Our ship that
cruises the rivers.
Please note the pilothouse in the center of the
top of the ship
The pilot house
is lowered into the deck and the captain has
to look out of the "sun roof" to steer. Please note the
low bridge coming up. There has been a lot of rain
in Germany and the canal is several feet higher than normal.
Everyone on the
top deck has to duck down to clear the
bridge. I inserted a pink line along the bottom of the bridge
to emphasize where the bottom of the bridge is located
The pilothouse
is then raised hydraulically to
its normal position
The ship stopped
outside of the village of Berching
