THE AMSTERDAM – RHINE CANAL is a canal in the Netherlands that was built to connect the port city of Amsterdam with the main

shipping artery of the Rhine. It’s course follows a generally southeasterly direction as it goes through the city of Utrecht towards Wijk bij Duur

where it intersects the Lek branch of the Rhine and then continues on to the Waal river near Tiel, with a branch, the Lek Canal, to the Lek ne

Nieuwegein. It is 72.5 KM long, Amsterdam being KM 0 and the place where it joins the Lek branch of the Rhine KM 72.5

THE RHINE RIVER is one of the longest rivers in Europe. Having its source in the Swiss alps at an approx. altitude of 2944m / 9660ft,

it flows from Switzerland through the so called Rhine Valley creating the natural border between France and Germany for some distance bef

discharging into the North Sea at the Dutch harbour city of Rotterdam.

Its total length is 1320km / 820mi of which 1034.5km / 643mi are navigable.

Navigation is measured from KM 0 at Constance (Lake Constance-Switzerland) and ends in the North Sea at the mouth of the Rhine River

in Rotterdam at KM 1034.5

THE DANUBE RIVER is Europe’s second longest river after the Volga.

It originates in the Black Forest in south western Germany as two smaller rivers

—the Brigach and the Breg— (approx. 1067m / 3500ft) which join at Donaueschingen (680m / 2230ft).

It is from this point that it is known as the Danube.

The Danube meanders across Bavaria and breaks through a limestone gorge at Kelheim where it is joined by the Main-Danube Canal

Below Kelheim the Danube is navigable for larger river-traffic, including vessels such as ours.

At Passau the Danube is joined by the Inn River which rises in the Swiss Alps and drains much of Austria.

As the Inn is twice the width of the Danube and carries more water, the Swiss and Austrians have long argued that the entire river should

be named the "Inn" and not the Danube. This however is a matter which is best left unexplored!

From Passau the Danube enters Austria and begins its most beautiful stretch as it flows through the steep, wooded foothills of the Alps.

The steep-sided valley of the Wachau is the Danube's answer to the Rhine Gorge.

Below Vienna (where the river is already 275m / 900ft across) the danube enters the flatter, more open country which gives way to the

vast grasslands of Hungary, the former "granary" of the Austrian Empire.

To the east of the Serbian capital, Belgrade, the Danube breaks through the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains in a dramatic gorge

121km / 75mi long, known as the "Iron Gates". The river is hemmed into a width of less than 150m / 500ft and is overlooked by sheer

cliffs rising 300m / 1000ft. Here the water once surged with great force, breaking over rapids and forming vicious whirlpools until a dam

was built down-river to restrain the flow.

The Danube continues over the flat plains, marshes and swamps of Bulgaria and Romania and finally reaches its delta on the Black Sea.

Here the Danube divides into several arms which flow through a wilderness of reed-filled marshes and sandy islands.

When the river floods it reaches a width of 20km / 12miles.

Altogether the river flows eastwards for a distance of some 2850km / 1771mi, passing through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary,

Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania before emptying into the Black Sea via the Danube Delta in Romania.

The Danube’s Delta being KM 0 and Kelheim where the Danube connects to the Main-Danube Canal being KM 2415.
