Kurfürstliches Schloss

Ról ről

Gyors tények: Around 40 rooms survive from the original structure, which was leveled by French troops in 1801. The surviving wing later served as a Prussian military barracks before becoming home to the federal archive's central office.

Főbb látnivalók: Climb to the rooftop terrace and you get a 360-degree panorama where the Moselle pours into the Rhine directly below, one of the few spots on Earth where you can watch two major rivers merge. The little-known story is that this was the residence of the last Elector of Trier, Clemens Wenzeslaus, who once hosted a nine-day festival here that included a hot-air balloon ascent in 1783.

Bennfentes tippek

• Bring a camera with a wide-angle lens for the rooftop terrace, the river confluence panorama is the single best photo you'll take in Koblenz.
• The Rhine-side gardens are the quietest spot for a picnic, bring your own food since there's no on-site café.
• Pair your visit with the cable car across the Rhine, you'll get a completely different aerial perspective of the same rivers meeting.
• Wear comfortable shoes, the cobblestone paths around the building and the winding staircases inside require decent footing.
