The Holland to Hungary river cruise on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, including transiting the Main-Danube Canal, will provide an opportunity to observe European water traffic on its most important arteries. This two-day mini-course will provide an overview of the European river and canal systems, the various craft which ply them, and the locks and other features which render the waterways navigable. We will examine the Main-Danube canal, which was completed in 1993, but was originally conceived in 1921 to replace the so-called Ludwig canal, which was completed in 1845.
Participants going to Holland/Hungary in May 2005 will have precedence.
