'Carnival queue.'

Queing for the ferry over the Rhine (Rhein) during the Basler Fasnacht, the carnival of Basel. There are three ferries in town, and none has a motor. They use a cable and the force of the streaming water. Photo Paul Smit.

'Fool at the Rhine.'

Along the Rhine (Rhein) the Basler Fasnacht (carnival of Basel) lives through some its most beautiful moments when the sun sets behind the Münster church. I followed this fool for half an hour when he walked through the old streets, along the river and over the bridges. He didn't stop piping. As a real Basler he knew what Fasnacht was about: scaring the winter away! Photo Paul Smit.

'Old spinsters along the Rhine.'

During the Basler Fasnacht (carnival in Basel) two Alti Dantes (old spinsters) pipe along the Rhine. Mind you, in daily life they are a couple. The man is at right. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.MITTEL 00840] 'Wooden bridge.' Diesenhofen still has its remarkable wooden bridge crossing the Rhine, halfway Bodensee and Stein am Rhein. Don't forget your passport when you are going to visit the bridge; it's a Swiss/German bordercrossing. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.MITTEL 00847] 'Stein am Rhein 1.' Cycling is booming around the Bodensee, partly thanks to the signposted Bodensee-Radwanderweg, mostly free of cars and hikers. But also thanks to the round-trip-boats, who take cyclists. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.MITTEL 00859] 'Monastery on Werd.' The tiny Franciscan monastery St. Otmar, withdrawn on the tiny island of Werd in the Rhine next to Stein am Rhein. Six monks still live here. Photo Paul Smit.
