Interesting, frightening and incomprehensible that the water can rise so high here and with what force it rushed through here. The highest water level is on February 29th, 1784!

Every time a flood occurs, it is a disaster for those affected, but if you look at the markings, there were also several other water levels. Of course, it varies depending on the course of the rivers, as to how the levels add up or not due to the inflows.
A good portion is simply media hype.
Of course, things look different from the perspective of people from Passau or Deggendorf.
I hope they will now receive a lot of help from the state, after their fellow citizens have already helped as best they can.

Frightening when you see how high the water of the Danube was here. When you stand in front of it, you can't even imagine it.

It would be interesting to see what it would look like if the water were really that high, it's almost impossible to imagine

Interesting to see how high the Danube was. In the narrow gorge you can imagine the force with which the water masses shot through here.

The Weltenburg district, which was extensively flooded during the Pentecost flood in 1999, is more frequently affected by floods in the Asamstrasse area. Threatening flood events also occurred in 2002, 2005 and 2013.
Structural flood protection should gradually provide protection against a 100-year flood event in several construction phases. The inauguration took place in September 2015.

The Danube and its floods will probably always threaten the monastery.

The Danube flood will always remain a danger for the monastery.

Very interesting and, above all, impressive.
The water levels are worth a close look.
