Forays on local shores

Torsten Schäfer takes us on a journey of discovery into the world of water. Having set out during the hot summers of recent years, he traces the changes brought about by climate change.

In the “Dreiflussland” between the Rhine, Main and Neckar rivers, he observes, immerses himself, feels – and tells stories: of forgotten springs in the forest, of well cleaners and catfish fishermen, of “his” river, which he follows from its source to its mouth. Schäfer paints a sensitive picture of water with linguistic elegance.
