  2. You know you want to step along the Rhine with us to Les Trois Rois in Basel, Switzerland. A view across the Rhine River shows pale sandstone façades stepping down to a weathered quayside.

    Solid lines and open sky fit together, and a few small figures lend quiet scale and life. I think it makes a calm, refined focal point for a living room or study.

  3. Today another #Basel🇨🇭#Tram picture, taken earlier this afternoon at #Schifflände neighbourhood, by the #Rhine river: a meet of two #BVB Be4/4 “Cornichon” tramcars from the 1980s. The trailers are of a 1960s design. (They were rebuilt in the 1990s however, with the introduction of a low floor area.)

  4. The sheer scale of the #KölnerLichter is hard to grasp until you stand by the #Rhine with massive illuminated ships passing by. Planning for 2026 means figuring out logistics early. I broke down the best viewing zones in #Cologne, transit tips to avoid gridlock, and how to properly time your evening.

  5. A #Basel🇨🇭#BVB tram photographed earlier today. This is a vehicle of the Be6/8 #Flexity type, built by #Bombardier Transportation at their #Vienna 🇦🇹 plant (😉). It is seen here crossing the #Rhine river on Mittlere Brücke bridge.

  6. A rather incredible view from a Jugendherbergen (youth hostel) overlooking the Rhine. Six photos on a film point-and-shoot, merged in Photoshop.

  9. I have some ancestors who lived in Düsseldorf and Neuwied, Germany in the late 1500s and early 1600s. My ancestral relatives moved from Düsseldorf to Neuwied in the early 1600s. As they moved south on the Rhein, their surname also changed, from Gartner to Graat to Gradt. They were farmers who remained connected to the Catholic Church until my direct ancestors moved to New Amsterdam (modern New York). I am curious about two things:

    * What might have caused them to move.
    * What kinds of political, cultural, religious, and/or linguistic impacts might have caused them to change the spelling of their surname.

  10. I cycled through the Rhine gorge which is genuinly beautiful. But Nicolas Helen rode the whole #EV15 route on his #Bicycle.

    Spanning 1,450km from the #NorthSea to the #SwissAlps, the #Rhine #Cycle #Route is 87% car-free, culturally rich and surprisingly accessible.

  11. Tausende befreien den Rhein von Müll

  12. #Wrightbus has delivered 12 Kite Hydroliner #hydrogen buses to #German operator WestVerkehr GmbH, bringing Germany’s total to 43, with around 130 expected by end of 2025. Operating in North #Rhine-Westphalia, the buses serve #Heinsberg, Hückelhoven, and Erkelenz. WestVerkehr’s MD, Udo Winkens, called it a major step towards clean, future-ready transport. Supported by €3.4 million from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Digital and #Transport, the project helps cut noise and emissions. Wrightbus CEO Jean-Marc Gales praised the environmental benefits and strong cooperation with WestVerkehr. The buses offer up to 1,000 km range, refuel in under 10 minutes, and carry 90 passengers. Wrightbus has also opened a #European service centre in Brühl to support its growing fleet, with orders from RVK, Saarbahn, Cottbusverkehr and others. The centre is part of plans to expand Wrightbus’s service network across Europe, replicating its UK model.

  13. If you ever wonder how to spend a Sunday right:
    bare feet, a river, and the one who makes you laugh even when nothing’s funny.
    Today at the Rhine, we absolutely nailed it.
