From here on it is all downhill

The highest point on the voyage

From here on it is downhill to Istanbul

Lock Hilpoltstein at 406 meters above sea level - must be the highest point a viking ship has ever traversed.

A report form Arndis, our Danish crew member: We have reached the highest lock, 406 m above sea level, so from now on it is downhill towards the Danube. Lock Hilpoltstein at the top and the monument for the highest point. This is a fantastic trip with an international crew. Of the 10 people on board there are 6 nationalities, 5 Norwegians, one from Mexico, an American, and one from Scotland, England and Denmark. So here in south-eastern Germany, the language intricacies are absolutely amazing.
