About the Book

Excerpt from book: again through the gorge to Bingen, and then along the more open valley round the bends at Bingen and Mainz to Mannheim, at the confluence of the Neckar, in the very heart of Europe. Though a mastless port, Mannheim, as measured by the tonnage of the wares handled, is now one of the great ports of Europe. So deeply is the Valley of the Rhine eroded into the high ground of Central Europe, that Mannheim stands only 300 feet above the sea. From Bingen nearly to Bonn the valley is cut as a gorge through broad uplands of schistose rock, the average level of whose surface is some 1,500 feet above the sea, though the river falls from only 250 feet at Bingen to 150 feet at Bonn. The green water, at one point more than seventy feet deep, here flows rapidly between dark cliffs and steep, vineyard-clad slopes. Above Bingen the whole scene changes.

At Breisach, midway from Strasburg to Basle, the level of the strip of lowland is just over 600 feet high, while the dark, wooded mountains of the Black Forest and of theVosges rise on either side to summits of 4,000 feet and over. The head of this trenched valley is at Basle, more than 500 miles from the sea; but the descent of the river within it is just at first somewhat steep and the stream too rapid for navigation, since Basle is at a level of over 800 feet. The lower reaches of some of the chief tributary valleys are also less than 600 feet above the sea?that of the Neckar nearly to Stuttgart and that of the much-bent Main to beyond Wiirzburg. The valley of the Lahn to Giessen, and of the Moselle to Metz are gorges of similar deep incision, w...
