Hiking
The water level at Ruhrort was currently showing 3.00 m. The groynes are about 150 cm above the water's surface (and are slightly submerged at 4.20 m). I estimate that from a water level of 3.60 m, you have to balance on the stones of the ford – above that, it's either "take off your shoes and wade" (sandy bottom) or "turn back."
