| "Hoch" means "high" and "wasser" means "water", so "Highwater". |
The heavy snow before Christmas and the warm weather (and rain) of the past few days have swelled the Rhine. The water has risen so much that the road and bike path is completely submerged. The boats are floating way higher than their usual moorings (I think the gang-planks usually slope down). Christine's favourite café is in the arched door at the right, and that's flooded too. Nothing that affects us, but it's neat to walk down to the river and see what all the fuss on the news is about.
