...and the gravel excavator keeps coming. Gravel and sand slide down from the banks into the depths: "Exploiting the natural resources!" Duisburg was once rich from mining; simply extracting coal. They had never learned anything else.

A lovely tour along the towpath by the riverbank. This involves crossing the outflow of an old gravel pit in the Rhine floodplain. The ford was dry today. The water level at Ruhrort was currently showing 3.00 m. The groynes are about 150 cm above the water's surface (and are slightly submerged at 4.20 m). I estimate that from a water level of 3.60 m, you have to balance on the stones of the ford – above that, it's either "take off your shoes and wade" (sandy bottom) or "turn back."
