Mega👌🏼📸 impressive panoramic view towards the Koblenz side with the German Corner & the confluence of the Moselle & Rhine 🌊💙. In the back & above then lies the impressive Ehrenbreitstein Fortress 🏰🛡⚔️. 👌🏼It never gets boring here, there is always something going on/something to see.

🛡⚔️🏰In its current form, the fortress was rebuilt between 1817 and 1828 under the direction of Prussian engineer Carl Schnitzler. Since 2002, the fortress has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage "Upper Middle Rhine Valley", owned by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. 🚡The highlight is the journey to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress with the Koblenz cable car. Float over the Rhine🚠, the fantastic view of the Deutsches Eck, Rhine and Moselle🌊, before the impressive fortress walls appear🛡⚔️. Another spectacular visit to the fortress by elevator🚠: 94 meters in altitude in 3 minutes: With the fortress elevator, you glide relaxed and barrier-free to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress - panoramic views included. From the mountain station, you reach the central castle courtyard after a few meters🛡⚔️. Here you will find the State Museum and the most beautiful view over Koblenz🎨🖌. From here, the historic fortress area, events, and gastronomy can be explored.
