Every reading we hold on the Moselle today
Every reading here is a measurement somebody has already taken, never a forecast. The writing beside it is history and geography: it tells you nothing about today's water and nothing about whether a ship sails. Your cruise line decides what your ship does.
One story from this water
Ehrenbreitstein rebuilt as a Prussian fortress
French forces dismantled parts of Ehrenbreitstein in 1801 after the Revolutionary Wars. Prussia rebuilt the immense confluence fortress between 1817 and 1828 as a keystone of its Rhine defence system.
