Danube comes up six centimeters at Pfelling

The Danube came up at Pfelling, 260 centimeters against 254 yesterday, after 7 millimeters of rain over the Inn valley. The chance of a Danube cruise going as planned this week is 56 percent, up from 48 yesterday. Rhine water levels at Kaub rose three centimeters too, though the Middle Rhine is still at low water and this week sits at 18 percent as planned. At that level a ship loads lighter, or the line moves passengers to a sister ship past the shallow stretch with a coach in between.

This was the picture on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The water moves daily, so if you are planning a cruise, start with today's check for your own dates rather than an older note.
