Monday the 24th we had some more great experiences in Koblenz. Don took the more vigorous tour to the Marksburg Castle. I am certain that he has some lovely photos on his phone. I opted for a cable car ride up and over the Rhine to Ehrenbreitstein fortress. The views were spectacular! First was the German Corner, Deutches Eck, where the Moselle River joins the Rhine. There is statue of Kaiser Wilhelm with state and national flags. It is a UNESCO world heritage site.
At the fortress the guides are actors dressed in period clothes and speaking of the events current to 1836. It was fun to learn about the fortress units manner. The fortress was really impressive.
General Patton was also in Koblenz in WW II.
While we were touring, our ship moved on to Braubach where we reconvened at lunchtime. We sailed the Middle Rheingold under a cloud cover and occasional shower. There was also a demo of Rudesheim coffee plus tasting. I am bringing the recipe home.
