The water level at Kaub is of particular importance for shipping on the Rhine, as the river is very shallow at this point. But now the water is rising again.

Kaub in Rhineland-Palatinate is an important interface for shipping on the Rhine. The water levels there are of particular importance because the river is very shallow at this point.
