Distance Travelled

Approximately 33½ km (21 miles) by boat and approximately 3 km (2 miles) on foot.

Route

Journeyed on a boat upstream on the scenic Rhein (Rhine) River from the centre of Köln to Bonn, the former capital of West Germany. Here I visited a beautiful Evangelical church and Bonner Münster (Bonn Minster). The latter is currently closed for around two years due to major renovation works, but I was able to visit the cloisters area.

The carbon emissions from the boat trip have been offset. More info.
