This is about the Danube, but I thought it might be of interest to some here: Low Water Levels on Danube Reveal Sunken WW2 German Warships

@notamermaid, indeed, it is Eberbach.

We are on the Viking Gymir, which currently is in Strasbourg, heading from Basel to Amsterdam. We were told this evening we will be swapping to the Egdir tomorrow due to the low water level. (Interestingly, the Egdir was to be our ship originally.) @MDPastor, the Eir also is docked here today, so, yes, it made it through the gorge coming from Amsterdam. @su-arizona and @purpleduck, regarding luggage, we are to have our bags outside our door by 8:30 in the morning. That includes our carryons. Viking will transfer everything while we are enjoying the walking tour and time on our own for lunch in Speyer. (We will receive a $25/person shipboard credit to cover the cost of lunch.) We then will be bussed to meet the Egdir in Braubach. Unfortunately, the optional excursions scheduled for tomorrow evening all have been canceled. (The wine dinner at the Cistercian monastery was the excursion I was most looking forward to!) @Haqdeluxe, we were told the only member of the crew making the swap with us is the cruise director. We have been promised we still will see the gorge and the castles from the water on Friday on an excursion boat that still is able to navigate the shallow water.

Good news! We are scheduled to sail on the Gymir from Basel tomorrow. I will keep you updated.
