Virtual cruise from Mainz along the river Main

I have saved a copy of that PDF (Portable Document Format) document to my computer in case it gets deleted after the event takes place.

Thank you, and to eGj too.

You are very welcome.

Hello hello.
Sorry I've been missing.
The usual reasons.
I'm happy to have a blanket thrown over me and huddle up and watch, though

This evening!

Bear in mind continental time is one hour ahead of UK time.

I wonder if it is online in any way.

Wow StarDreamer you’ve hit the jackpot again. This looks like a good event!

The historic market square in the middle of the old town is the "living room" of Hassfurt. At the beginning of August, this square becomes the scene of its own festival: At the market square festival , a special atmosphere is created by stylish lighting and loving decoration. In addition to musical entertainment , guests can also look forward to culinary pampering moments .
The market square festival begins on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. with the official opening by First Mayor Günther Werner. The Saturday of Indulgence takes place on the market square in the morning , from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with the Rossinis. Come by and use the morning for shopping at the weekly market or a stroll through theDowntown shops . There is definitely something for everyone here!

So, onto Das weiße Straßenschiff for our overland trip from Bad Neustadt an der Saale back to Schweinfurt and to go back aboard Der Goldene Delfin.

Then Der Goldene Delfin can continue on the river cruise by travelling from Schweinfurt to Haßfurt.

Fortunately our virtual river Main has plenty of water.

Just a friendly warning that the Goldener Delfin crew may need you to get out and push if conditions continue!

GERMANY’S Rhine is on the brink of closing – threatening the ouput of one of the country’s biggest gas companies.

Low water levels around chokepoints amid drought on the Continent mean barges must take smaller loads, and passage may soon be impossible
A friend was recently flown home early after they had to disembark at Passau after a Danube cruise starting in Budapest.
Water levels across Europe are causing headaches- including as I understand it, the Main, Danube, and , the Rhône.

Looks like fun, particularly on a warm afternoon!

I did not follow what the word Kneipp was about.

I have now found that it is the surname of someone.

Sebastian Kneipp

Rest in the shade of a tree on a sunny day, enjoy nature and do a lot for your health. It's easy to do in the Luitpoldaue in Bad Neustadt.

To stay healthy, all you have to do is roll up your pants, take off your shoes and stockings, and step carefully into the cold water. Handrails are available for those of unsteady step. The stork walk through the water stimulates the circulation and, according to Kneipp, strengthens the veins, helps against varicose veins, hot legs, migraines, strengthens the immune system, stimulates the metabolism and has an overall vegetatively stabilizing effect.

After the rounds, stretch out your legs on one of the benches, wipe off excess water with your hands, do foot exercises and use the other activities in the Aue.

The Kneipp pool in the Luitpoldaue is a place for the whole family. In addition to refreshing relaxation, there is a barefoot feel-good path in the shape of a foot and a buzzing stone for a special listening experience. The really brave even close their eyes to feel the unfamiliar underground. The walk along the barefoot path after treading water is the perfect supplement for your own well-being.

Two outdoor devices for moving the entire leg and upper body - especially the shoulders - round off the range of health and well-being options in the Luitpoldaue.

Oh, is it walking in the spa water? I didn't realise.

Yes, we can do that.

I’m suggesting we give it a go StarDreamer. We have dined and been to museums, so why not take off our shoes and socks and give our limbs the benefit of walking in the water and experience the German Kneipp water therapy. Free and open to all!

Over 1000 years ago the springs were found in Bad Kissingen which were used for salt production..“ white gold „In the museum Obere Saline we can still see how the salt crystals through warming crystallise .

There is a stagecoach we can travel on to discover the beauty of Bad Kissingen

Sorry been busy all day but able to find some info about the Bismark museum.
The Bismark museum is where Otto von Bismark the 1st Chancellor lived and worked while he was visiting the Spa .

So it is open this afternoon.

These two videos are both in German.

If there is anyone on this trip to the museum who understands German perhaps he or she could post some indication of what is being said please.

In particular, are those white statues made of salt please?

Is anything said about why the salt does not absorb moisture from the air please?

Wow StarDreamer I feel the wellness. Does a visit here afterwards appeal ?

Obere Saline museum
There’s a lot to discover in the Oberere Saline museum. Until 1893, Imperial Chancellor Prince Otto von Bismarck stayed in this prestigious former residential building during his spa visits. Today the building also houses the Bismarck museum. It features Bismarck’s residence with its original interior and showrooms that tell the story of Bismarck’s politics in the microcosm of the spa. The Obere Saline museum also features dedicated sections on salt and salt production, the world-class spa Bad Kissingen, and toys on the top floor.
Opening hours:
Wednesday - Sunday: 2pm - 5pm
