Even if the King's Chair is not in its original location, it still provides an entertaining introduction to the German coronation system from the Middle Ages to modern times. You also get a fantastic view of the Rhine Valley. It can be reached via the Rhine Castle Trail from Koblenz to Rhens or the Wolfsdelle Dream Trail. In both cases you have to leave the hiking trail for a short time.

The king's chair of Rhens is a stone, two-story octagonal building as an enlarged view of a throne at the site of the walnut orchard to Rhens am Rhein south of Koblenz, were conducted in the Middle Ages negotiations of the electors for the election of the Roman-German kings and some royal elections.

The today to be visited building is a staggered new building from the year 1842 after destruction of the original in the year 1795.
