Flood waters on the Rhine are slowly receding
The water levels on the Rhine will slowly fall again: the flood has reached its peak.
At the Maxau gauge, a drop below the reporting height of seven meters is expected at the beginning of next week. The Rhine is still closed to shipping near Maxau and Speyer. From Mannheim to Cologne, ships still have to travel at a slower speed and, if possible, in the middle of the river.
