Koblenz -- The Corner of Germany

by Ewingjr98 - last update: Nov 16, 2006

Foggy afternoon at Koblenz
The city of Koblenz sits at an economic and strategic strong point at the confluence of the Mosel and Rhein Rivers in western Germany. The city has been in existence since Roman times and continues to be an important town for tourists as they travel throughout the region. Koblenz is surrounded by vineyards for hundreds of miles. It is also surrounded by dozens of castles and fortresses from all periods of German history.

Visiting the town

The must-see activities in Koblenz include St. Kastor's Church with its unique twin steeple, Deutsches Eck -- the park where the rivers meet, the wonderful Liebfraukirche, the typical German Walkplatz, and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress sitting on a cliff across the Rhein.

Nearby Sights

Burg Eltz is a great fairy-tale castle down the Mosel River about 30 kilometers. Just a short ways past Burg Eltz stands the amazing town of Cochem with its massive hill-top castle overlooking the River.
