King Billy

At the "Deutsches Eck" (it means "German Corner") in Koblenz is a truly enormous monument to Kaiser Wilhelm. You can climb up to it and go inside it (on several levels) for some good views out.
In the summer there are concerts here, with the band arranged up the steps of the monument, with coloured lights and water cascading down the steps. Must be quite nice.

River Traffic

This is the view from the top of the monument.
At the left we have the Mosel and at the right the Rhine. The two mighty rivers flow together here at "Deutsches Eck".
It's very picturesque and watching all the boats go by is quite fascinating (OK, so we were waiting for a crash :-P)

Picture 25 of 30

At Deutsches Eck you just HAVE to have your picture taken. We wanted one of all three of us, so we volunteered an old German lady to take it using my digital camera.
She was a bit bewildered and wondered where is the black hood thing she had to put over her head the last time she used a camera... but she clicked and clicked and took about 30 identical pictures of us. Thank goodness for digital, huh?
Nice pic tho, thank you frauline.

Neuschwanstein (joking)

Koblenz has two different waterfronts, one on the Rhine and one on the Mosel. The one by the Rhine gives nice views across the river to the fortress on the opposite bank, and the waterfront is lined with cafes, boat tour places, and shops selling postcards of Bavaria (????).

Mosel Waterfront

This is the Mosel waterfront. This runs just behind the old town and you can duck up anywhere along here to get into the main shopping and eating areas.
There was a little market going on along here too, but to be honest it was mostly tat.

Somewhere In Koblenz

Koblenz has some lovely and quite colourful buildings.
Here, I'll show you some, but don't ask me what they are, just a collection of churches, cafes and shops. All very lovely though...
