Creator's Key Takeaways

The water level issue there is looking a lot better. With the levels rising to about 175 cm in Budapest, which is ideal for sailing.

So for anyone who's setting out on the Danube River, you can expect smooth sailing.

If we take a look at the mine, the Rine, and the Moselle River, those are all green and good for sailing with no disruptions and great water levels at this time.

Other than that, things are looking great for our spring river cruising season.
