Kaiserswerth is special because it is on the Rhine River. The Rhine is very big, and its water moves very fast. For many, many hundreds of years it was like a big highway for the people in Germany. Boats brought people from town to town, and boats brought all the stuff people needed for life.

The river runs too fast and too deep to swim in, but people still like to ride boats on it. This is a tour boat on the Rhine. The people are enjoying looking at us, and we are enjoying looking at them! Take a peek all the way across the river to the other side of the Rhine. Do you see campers and trailers? Those are campers enjoying the view of the Rhine. Germans like to camp as much as people in Minnesota do.
