Koblenz is famous because it lies on the confluence of the two big rivers Rhine and Mosel. Deutsches Eck (“German Corner”) is the promontory where they flow together. Here is a huge monument of Willliam I, that was destroyed during World War II, but a copy was placed on the site 1993. It is a monument to the unification of Germany. It has great views and a popular tourist site. The city center is really beautiful with many old buildings intact. Because of the mild climate, palm trees can be found along the riverfront.

Cable cars go from the riverfront, 890m in length and 112m high, near Mitte (the city center) to the Erhenbreitstein Fortress, situated on a 188m high hill with the same name on the opposite side of the Rhine, overlooking two rivers and the city. The fortress was destroyed by the French, but rebuilt again in 1828. The cable cars are very modern and very visible.
