Moselle (In French)
My
dish towel souvenir is a decorative memento of our cruise on the
Mosel and Rhine |
|
 |
|
We
enjoyed the scenery sailing from Koblenz to Bernkastel-Kues |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The ruin of Oberburg Castle overlooks the town
of Kobern-Gondorf |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
At first I thought this was someone's garage |
It
is really part of a castle complex |
 |
 |
Where
the road was contructed through the buildings |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Entering
the Lehmen Lock |
|
 |
|
We
entered the lock |
Passing
the huge doors |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The Captain guided us slowly and carefully
through the narrow lock |
|
 |
 |
The doors closed behind us |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Water
rushed in to lift the ship to the next river level |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
When the water reaches the proper height,  |
One large door moves downward |
|
 |
 |
To
let the ship sail through. A ship on the other side is waiting
its turn in the lock |
|
 |
 |
We continue our journey |
|
 |
 |
Thurant Castle overlooks the town of Alken |
|
 |
|
 |
We passed many rowers on the river  |
 |
|
The town of Brodenbach |
|
 |
