A riverbank lined with palaces
An unforgettable boat trip from Koblenz through the Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO Heritage site dotted with castles and forts as old as the 12th century, is an experience you should not miss! The first historical site on your tour is the Electoral Palace, once home to the last Archbishop of Trier and now an abode for government offices. The next palace you will see is the Lahneck Castle, an intimidating fortress built in 1226 to protect the territory at the mouth of river Lahn. Opposite it, you will see another structure standing tall – the Stolzenfels Castle, a fortress built to protect the toll station in Rhine. A historic wine village, St John’s Monastery built from the ruins of a Roman fort, and the historic and somber All Saints Chapel are also some sites you will pass through.
In a picturesque blend of history and nature, witness the merging of Germany’s most popular rivers – Rhine and Moselle – at the Deutsches Eck. The last two stops on your trip are the castles and Martinsburg and Marksburg. The Martinsburg Castle was built in the 13th century to protect the aristocracy of Mainz against its raging citizens. The castle at Marksburg is one of the few hill fortresses in the Rhine to have never been destroyed as was built in the 13th century to protect the neighboring silvermines.
