Bojangles Posted August 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I looked at the weather report for Budapest,Vienna and Prague for the next week or so. It is pretty nice right now but rain is forcast for Friday and the next few days. I am a little worried that the river boats will not be able to run for some of the trip. We will be on the Tapestry starting the 23rd from Budapest. Anyone have any thoughts on this. Will the rains need to be pretty bad for the river to rise that much.

I have been on river cruises when it rained and it was no problem. I think it takes a lot of rain to cause a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 12, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It is only a problem if there is severe rain, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old grump Posted August 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2010 we are on the Tauck " Blue Danube" starting Aug 17, and the 10 day forecast is showers or rain each day in the forecast period. Sounds like a rain jacket and a extra pair of shoes.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisker92 Posted August 13, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The problem is that all the bridges are fixed, and if the river gets to high, the boat cannot pass. We were stuck in Deggendrorf on the Danube for 2 days. I also read where an Azmara ship was stuck there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacmom Posted August 13, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The water must have been really high for an ocean going ship from Azamara to get stuck at Deggensdorf. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted August 13, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The German part of the Danube river is still high but not on any kind of flood stage. There are currently no severe weather warnings for heavy rain. But there are some warnings for high water along our local river (Isar) which empties into the Danube river. Currently the main problem is a big lake near Munich which is filled up to capacity. The small river going out this lake is on the highest flood level. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
