The Moselle

When we turned up the Moselle, we had to go under a very low bridge.  It just happened that I walked up the stairs at the precise moment they were lowering the wheel house so it would fit.

shoulder level

low enough

They let us stay on the sky deck, only cautioning that we needed to stay near the center, because the edges would be low.  First we go under...



 
Then the wheel house goes under.




We sailed past all sorts of hillside vineyards.  Most of these were so steep that you wondered how they could work them. 










We started seeing railing systems... that's how the workers could get materials up and down the hills.  You can see them in the picture below.
