Planning: Summertour 2023
From the Netherlands upstream the river Meuse through Belgium and France and via canals to the City of Strasbourg and via Heidelberg downstream the Rhine back to the Netherlands.
I have sailed parts of this route in previous years. But this time I want to explore the river Neckar, one of the few big German rivers that I don't know yet.
