In the district of Stolzenfels, you’ll find the fairy tale
Stolzenfels Castle. Since the middle of the 19th century, the castle which was drafted by architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel has been an indispensable part of Rhine romanticism. During a guided tour, visitors can admire paintings and furniture from the 16th to 18th centuries as well as neo-Gothic furniture from the 19th century.

Where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet lies one of the most beautiful cities in Germany: Koblenz

) and the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress are well-known throughout the country – they are points where guests from all over the world converge.
Koblenzer Sommerfest (Koblenz Summer Festival
) joins Rhine in Flames
A three-day supporting programme centred around the final Rhine in Flames
fireworks display in Koblenz. Throughout the day, over 400 artists perform on more than eight stages and play areas. The festival’s three days see Koblenz groups and bands from around the world invite the 150,000 visitors to dance and relax. Long gone are the days when the energetic world music concerts, the living room stage and the headphone (silent) disco in the cosy castle garden were an insider tip. Complemented by high-quality cultural events for children at the water playground as well as an ecumenical service and productions by clubs from Koblenz, the Koblenzer Sommerfest is a celebration for all generations. The big closing fireworks display for Rhine in Flames
on Saturday evening is the highlight of the Koblenzer Sommerfest. High-quality gastronomic specialities ensure that you will be well fed on all three days. And don’t forget that while all this is happening, the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is also hosting the Festungsmusikfest, a live music festival with cover and tribute bands.
