Mosel Levels Fall as Rhine Rises, With Koblenz Forecasting a Sunday Crest Near 5.10 Meters

The latest outlook puts the Koblenz gauge near 5.10 meters on Sunday under targeted, precautionary defenses.

Overview

  • The Mosel has begun receding after peaking near seven meters at Trier on Friday, with falling levels expected downstream toward Koblenz through the weekend.
  • Middle Rhine gauges are still climbing, with Koblenz expected to crest around 5.10 meters on Sunday and Bingen forecast at roughly 3.50 to 3.60 meters.
  • Koblenz has partially erected a mobile flood-protection wall and closed riverside passages in Neuendorf, and high-water gates in Ehrenbreitstein are shut.
  • Authorities warn that riverfront paths including Peter-Altmeier-Ufer and the Rhein-Leinpfade may be inundated and have urged drivers to remove parked cars from exposed areas.
  • State forecasters report no severe flooding so far, and the city says planned carnival events can proceed with minor adjustments.
