#rhineriver — Public Fediverse posts

An easy afternoon on the Rhine. People sit on stepped embankments, a green skiff bobs by orange buoys, as the steep roofs and single spire across the water give the scene its shape.

Small touches—bicycle against a post, dog at someone’s feet—make it lived in and unhurried.

Where would you hang it? Near where you lunch?

Dwindling water levels on some of Germany's major rivers, worsened by heat and drought, are raising fears that badly constrained riverboat cargo traffic may deal yet another blow to the struggling economy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/08/06/economy/low-germany-rhine-river-economy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #germany #rhineriver #europe #heatwaves #drought #climatechange #economicindicators

My Mother's 1973 Christmas tree, with a cardboard diorama I created: "The DeWittes: Christmas on the Rhine." The diorama still exists.

'Unprecedented' alerts in #France as blistering #heat grips #Europe

Kathryn Armstrong, BBC News, June 30, 2025

Excerpt: "The highest UK temperature of the day was recorded at Heathrow Airport in London at 33.1C. Meanwhile, Wimbledon recorded a temperature of 32.9C, the tennis tournament's hottest opening day on record.

"Meanwhile, heat alerts across #Spain, which is on course to record its hottest June on record, remained in place.

" 'I can't sleep well and have insomnia. I also get heat strokes, I stop eating and I just can't focus,' Anabel Sanchez, 21, told Reuters news agency in Seville.

"It is a similar situation in #Portugal, where seven districts, including the capital, Lisbon, are on the highest alert level.

"In #Germany, the country's meteorological service warned that temperatures could reach almost 38C on Tuesday and Wednesday - further potentially record-breaking temperatures.

"The #heatwave lowered levels in the #RhineRiver - a major shipping route - limiting the amount cargo ships can transport and raising freighting costs.

"Countries in and around the #Balkans have also been struggling with the intense heat, although temperatures have begun to cool.

"In #Turkey, rescuers evacuated more than 50,000 people - mostly from the resort city of Izmir in the country's west - as firefighters continued to put out hundreds of wildfires that had broken out in recent days.

"The fires were fuelled by winds of 120km/h (75 mph) and destroyed at least 20 homes.

"Wildfires also broke out in #Croatia, where red heat warnings are in place for coastal areas. An extreme temperature alert was issued for neighbouring #Montenegro."

#rhineriver hike day 10
Well, my holidays are coming to an end, so this is the last one for now.
Finished with a relaxing morning hike with a cousin from Steckborn to Stein am Rhein, where we had lunch among beautiful medieval buildings. With this, I reached the end of Lake Constance and am at the very beginning of the High Rhine towards Basel, but that will be for the next holidays.

All in all I managed to hike 245 km, so about one fifth of the total river. Looking forward to walking the rest 🙂.

#rhineriver day 9
Wisdom of the day:

When ducks swim on your path
look for a different way

I was too slow for a picture of the ducks, but here's a picture of the pond, err, I mean path.

#rhineriver hike day 8

Nothing much to say today.
Beautifully landscapes.
Too much wealth on display, too many fenced off villas.
I did meet many many fishes all in one go.

#rhineriver hike day 7 part two
Well, today turned into the "go around flooded paths" day. The lake is very full. At least the water fowls are enjoying it 🙂

#rhineriver hike day 7
Reached Lake Constance right on time for lunch. With another great view of course.

This is the end of the section of the river called "Alpine Rhine". The next few days will be along the Lake.

#rhineriver hike day 6
Started early and did a long non stop hike. The path soon went to the top of the embankments, through tall grass. It was beautiful and peaceful. We met only a handful of people on the way. After a late lunch in St. Margrethen, I said goodbye to my mom and kept going for a little bit along the old Rhine, a few km of the original river that are not part of it anymore due to humans meddling 😅. It now is, partially, a beautiful nature reserve. The path was flooded in part, so I got wet feet for the first time on this hike. Until now, my shoes held up amazingly, but they weren't watertight when being completely submerged. Shocking, I know. /s

Didn't quite manage to reach lake Constance on foot today, but caught a ship for the ride home, so I still got a view of the lake.
I tried to take a panoramic picture of the Rhine delta, but the algorithm got confused by the moving ship. I really like how the picture came out nonetheless.
