From the Deutsches Eck you have the best perspective of the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress.

The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is always worth a visit!

The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is a fortification that has existed since the 16th century, originally belonging to the Electorate of Trier and later to the Prussian side, opposite the mouth of the Moselle in Koblenz. Its baroque predecessor, which dates back to a castle built around the year 1000, was temporarily the residence of the Electors of Trier and was blown up by French revolutionary troops in 1801. In its current form, the citadel (actually called "Feste Ehrenbreitstein", the planned name was "Feste Friedrich Wilhelm") was rebuilt between 1817 and 1828 under the direction of the Prussian engineer officer Carl Schnitzler. It was part of the Prussian fortress of Koblenz built at the beginning of the 19th century and belonged to the Oberehrenbreitstein system. Used militarily by the Prussian army until 1918, it served as part of the Koblenz fortifications system to secure the Middle Rhine Valley and the entire transport infrastructure, i.e. railway lines and river crossings near Koblenz. Today it is owned by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate and houses the Koblenz State Museum, the Koblenz Youth Hostel, the German Army Memorial and various administrative offices. For the 2011 Federal Garden Show, parts of the fortress grounds and the forecourt area were included in the event area. A spacious landscape park with a viewing platform was created on the latter.

From the fortress you have a great view of the Deutsches Eck.

Great fortress (the second largest in Europe!) that houses several museums/exhibitions. In addition you have a great view over Koblenz, Rhine, Moselle and Deutsches Eck. The cable car ride up is also a real highlight!

From up here you have a great view of Koblenz and the Deutsches Eck.

Beautiful to look at from below. You should still take the time to visit the fortress. It's unimaginably big when you're up there. Among other things, you'll find a youth hostel there, but also two places where you can get hot meals. There are also toilets.
