 The European Watershed. I think the Americans call their equivalent the Continental Divide. Water which lands on the ground on the right-hand side of the road in the middle of this picture would disappear down the slope just beyond the car and find its way into the Main then into the Rhein and eventually out into the North Sea. Water landing on the left-hand side would run off to the left and along the Danube to the Black Sea. I thought about demonstrating that with two bottles and the camera's timer but I was worried that somebody might see me.
