I fully support Andre Huizing's take on this subject.
What's the busiest motorway you know of ?
Then think of the river Rhine as its marine equivalent.
Look at my blog 'Windmills and wine' for photo's.
I don't mean to be offensive but to anchor on the Rhine ? You need your head looked at.
There are marina's at day cruising distances apart so why put your self in harms way, its just mental masturbation.
Likewise as you've heard from Henning what seems nice and tranquil can give you a rude awakening. The Mosel is very short on pleasure moorings for cruisers but I still wouldn't even consider anchoring on it.

Do your research, think safety first and absolutely don't compromise your boat and crew.
