Koblenz

This weekend I went to Koblenz. It was another really hot day, but Koblenz is at where two rivers meet, the Rhein and the Mosel, so being by so much water made it a tiny bit cooler. Still really hot, but also still fun.

Church of the Sacred Heart

Rathaus

Fountain that spits

Jesuitenplatz

River walk

The Mosel River

So I knew that the corner where the Mosel and the Rhein meet is called the "German Corner" and that there was a monument there, but.....I had no idea how big it was!
Monument from the side

Monument, with people for size comparison

Rivers meeting



"Deutsches Eck" - German Corner

Monument from the back

Near the German corner, there is a seilbahn (I think it translates to something like rope train?)
I took way too many pictures from the seilbahn on my way to the fortress across the river.

the Rhein



Monument

German Corner


The next few pictures are from Fortress Ehrenbreitstein







View from the Fortress





Where I ate dinner - used to be (might still be?) a museum

Basilica of St. Castor

Basilica's garden


Former Residential palace


Then back to the train station. The train ride there and back is almost worth the trip alone. for most of the way you get a great view of the Rhein River.

  1. I'm here to share my testimony of what a good trusted loan company did for me, I'm from Russian and I’m a lovely mother of 3 kids I lost my funds on trying to get a loan to expand my evergreen group company it was so hard for me and my children, I went online to seek for a loan assistance all hope was lost until one fateful day when I met this friend of mine who recently secured a loan from a very honest man Mr, Benjamin. She introduced me to this honest loan officer Mr, Benjamin who helped me get a loan within 5 working days, I will forever be grateful to Mr Benjamin, for helping me get back on my feet again. You can contact Mr Benjamin via email: 247officedept@gmail.com they do not know I’m doing this for them, but i just have to do it because a lot of people are out there who are in need of loan assistance please come to this honest man and you can be safe as well .WhatsApp:(+1 989-394-3740)
