Koblenz - where the Rhine meets the Mosel

Koblenz is a quaint little city located on the junction where the Rhine River meets the Mosel River. We were travelling up the Rhine by a combination of train and river boat, Koblenz is a logical short stop before heading down the Mosel river to Trier.

For me, just a day was needed to look around, there was the Festung Ehrenbreitstein Fortress to look around after taking the cable car across the Rhine, you can really see the different colours of the Rhine River and Mosel River - amazing.

I was reliably informed it is worth waiting around for cable car #17 as it has a glass floor. That is not entirely correct, it has a glass viewing box to look out the bottom, not bad and worth the wait although there is enough glass in the cable car to view the fantastic scenes.

After we got off the cable car we wandered around to the Memorial of German Unity where a band was set up, there were bars and food stalls with decent views of the fortress, Rhine River and the Mosel River. A number of river cruise boats were moored alongside the waterfront, it's a decent place to spend for an overnight trip.
