In pictures: Europe's floods

The swollen river Danube floods the compound of the Weltenburg monastery near Kelheim, southern Germany.

In much of the country flood waters have ebbed, but in the city of Passau, crossed by three rivers, levels are still dangerously high.

In the Austrian city of Woergl, a man cleans up in a supermarket after flood waters receded.

Switzerland, too, has been badly hit. In lakeside Lucerne, jetties have been erected and life is going on as normally as possible.

Residents put sandbags in front of one of Lucerne's banks.

In Thun, Switzerland, workers remove flotsam blocking a watergate of the Aare river.
