When the Maxau gauge is high, which areas of the Rhine cannot be reached?  We are travelling next week from Amsterdam to Basel.  If it is too high, will we be unable to reach Strasbourg and Basel by boat?  Can the boats still pass under the bridges if the water level reaches above 700 cm?  At what height are the boats stopped?  Thanks for all your information.

Will the flooding in Switzerland over the last few days impact the Rhine river?    

We will be cruising on the Rhine next month.  With summer and warming weather coming, will the high levels return to average levels?  Wondering if this flooding will reduce the risk of low water levels?  Thanks
