Distance Travelled

Route

Took another trip on a day boat from Bonn, upstream and southwards on the Rhein to Linz. In the process I travelled from the federal state of Nordrhein-Westfalen into Rheinland-Pfalz. The towns and villages along the river are beautiful, and we passed many barges and trains, with the mainline following the river.

In Linz I visited a modern church dedicated to St. Mary and two older churches dedicated to St. Martin and St. Anthony.

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