Doorsteek in de verhoging in de
bodem van het gebergte dat van de Honsrug aan de linkerkant van de Rijn
tot aan de Taunus aan de rechterkant van de Rijn beneden de monding van
de Nahe dwars over de Rijn gaat, en zo een natuurlijke stuw dwars op de
stroom vormt die de Rijn in het Rheingau opstuwt. |

Durchstich durch die Grundschwelle der Gebirgsformation, die vom
linksrheinischem Hunsrück zum rechtsrheinischem Taunus unterhalb der
Nahemündung den Rhein durchquert, die ein natürliches Wehr Quer zum
Strom bildet und den Rhein im Rheingau aufstaut. |

Binger Loch |
a narrow breach in the rock bar at the entrance
of the famous Rhine valley which cuts the central German mountain formation
in a western (Hunsruck) and an eastern part (Taunus). The spot is characterized
by a cataract-like situation where the current is very strong. Since the
early 19th century it has repeatedly been subject to engineering measures
in order to facilitate the passage without lowering the waterlevel further
upstream. For the same reason deliberations to build a dam with a lock were
put aside until the plans were eventually shelved in the 1960s. |
