Top 7 Caves リンツ・アム・ラインでの

The monument honors the famous Cologne singer-songwriter and carnival composer Willi Ostermann for his contribution to Rhineland culture and musical tradition. It is a place of remembrance and appreciation for his works.

It is not a natural cave and just an artificially expanded tunnel.

<< Ostermann monument >> A monument in the lower part of the nightingale valley commemorates Willi Ostermann, the Rhenish singer, composer and lyricist.

The Nibelungenhalle, opened in 1913 for Richard Wagner's 100th birthday, shows one of the most important collections of paintings on the "Ring of the Nibelung". The Nibelungen saga was the reason for building the hall here on the Drachenfels in honor of Richard Wagner. The domed building in the "Late Art Nouveau" shows mystical paintings of the four operas Rheingold, Valkyrie, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. In the apse with the Wagner relief on the Drachenfels Trachitstein you can see paintings of "Parsifal". (https://nibelungenhalle.de/sehenswuerdigungen-drachenfels/nibelungenhalle/)
