View of the Rhine Lock
Highlight • Viewpoint
At Rotterdam, the Rhine divides into several distributaries and finally reaches the North Sea. Its catchment area is very large (approx. 185,000 km²) and includes many tributaries such as the Moselle, Main, or Neckar.
The Rhine is of great importance to Europe:
Shipping: One of the world's most important waterways for trade and transport
Economy: Connection of many industrial and port cities
Nature: Habitat for numerous animal and plant species
Energy: Utilization through hydropower in the Alpine regions
Due to its location and use, the Rhine is considered one of Central Europe's most important lifelines.

Plittersdorf–Seltz Rhine Ferry
Highlight • Structure
After the service was interrupted for five years following an accident, operations resumed in September 2010 with the newly built ferry Saletio. From October 2010 to July 2011, the ferry was out of service due to technical problems. Since then, it has transported around 100,000 cars, 60,000 bicycles, and 30,000 pedestrians per year.

Currently, no annoying mosquitoes 👌.
A wonderful afternoon, and of course, we were rewarded with a tarte flambée 😋

The result is a beautiful round through the nature reserve of the Sauer Delta.
Except for the piece along the gravel plant (I wouldn't have needed it), the tour is very nice to walk and the nature reserve sometimes …
