Geisling Lock waiting area for the night

NMYC Yacht Club

Deggendorf

Guten Abend,

    Every now and then we “camp out”  and really enjoy it.   Once in the Netherlands just past a lock and a few nights ago on our way to Deggendorf.  It actually is quite a treat to be “out in nature” as they say here in Europe.  However, for spending several days (not really sure how many at this point) waiting for water levels to rise, a town in a better choice. 

     We left Marina Saal thinking we might anchor near Walhalla but Randal didn’t feel comfortable anchoring at that point in the river so we continued on tying up in the sport boat waiting place at Geisling Lock.

The Walhalla is a hall of fame that honors laudable and distinguished people, famous personalities in German history – politicians, sovereigns, scientists and artists of the German tongue". Wikipedia

We would have anchored and then taken the dinghy ashore.  But it wasn’t to be so we may rent a car and drive back to visit.

It was a lovely place to spend the night with a cycling/walking path along the river and farm fields along the path.  We took a late afternoon stroll.

In the evening we went walking the opposite direction.
