A family canoe past vehicles which lay stranded on the A3 autobahn after the swollen Danube river burst its banks, on June 7, 2013 in Deggendorf, Germany. The A3 leads from Passau to Nuermberg and crosses the A92 at the bridge near Deggendorf. Eastern and southern Germany are suffering from flooding which in some cases is the worst in 400 years. At least four people are dead and tens of thousands have evacuated their homes.
