since then I came back many times exploring this area with my motorhome...

An interesting new page on Koblenz and vicinity. One of my sons used to be very interested in castles, so I took him to Burg Lahneck and Marksburg when he was younger.

Michael, awesome page about this well known German city. I was there once about 25 years ago and came across it a few times by train on the lovely Rhine vally railway line. Well done... :-)

Obviously worth visiting city! Thanks Michael for the great idea. Burg Eltz and St. Castor Church are very attractive. I saw Mosel in Metz I wish to see where Reihn and Mosel meet...

I'm fascinated by castles but sometimes I'm a bit worried that I might get castled out if there are too many in one go ;)

wonderful pictures! I liked that amazing column in the old town, very unusual style! and one day i'd like to see Burg Eltz with the wonderful castle
