EPILOGUE: RIVERS UNLOCKED

You've completed the German inland waterways.

From Kiel Canal to the Danube, you've:

• Locked through 16+ times
• Motored 1,200+ km
• Crossed the European watershed
• Eaten Belgian mussels and broodjes
• Learned about the Hanseatic League
• Imagined the Great Freeze of 1363-1364
• Caught glimpses of medieval Europe

Next: The Danube.

Austria's elegance. Hungary's paprika. Serbia's hospitality. Romania's Delta. The Black Sea awaits.

Lower your mast if it's not already down. The Danube has low bridges.
