118 meters above the Rhine, the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers what is probably the most fantastic view of Koblenz and the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle.

Wambach Valley

From the opposite bank you have a beautiful view of the German Corner.
However, the view from the top of the fortress is unique.
Here you can see it even more clearly how beautifully the Moselle and Rhine connect.

January 23, 2026,Blick auf das Deutsche Eck und auf den Rhein - Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress towers high above the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, impressively dominating the cityscape of Koblenz.

Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by a sweeping view of the Deutsches Eck (German Corner), Koblenz's Old Town, and the Rhine Valley. The vista isn't just a nice bonus, but a true highlight: expansive, clear, and breathtaking – especially on a …

April 5, 2022,Rheinsteig 09: Von Vallendar nach Koblenz – Rheinsteig

Since rain was forecast for later in the afternoon, we decided to take the shortest Rheinsteig stage today. The path leads through a light forest landscape, across fields and meadows, to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The large parade ground is freely accessible. A special highlight here is the spectacular viewing platform. There we also found the painted stone. The short hike leaves …

July 10, 2022,Von Vallendar nach Ehrenbreitstein in Koblenz

Today's tour followed stage 9 of the Rheinsteig! Probably a rather unspectacular route, which up to Ehrenbreitstein gave hardly any distant views and unfortunately often ran through residential areas and along the streets! After all, there was a lot to see in Ehrenbreitstein and a nice view of the German Corner!

August 19, 2022,🇩🇪 Rheinsteig 09. Etappe Vallendar - Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein (Nord-Süd)

This is an easy hike with a short steep part. To note: this was walked south north, namely from Koblenz to Vallendar.
I named this hike in this way for my own records as I hiked most of the Rheinsteig North-South.
Highlights are: Ehrenbreistein Festung
Mosel-Rhein view
View of Koblenz and Deutsches Eck
Vallendar town.

April 8, 2025,🚌🥾🥾👭Von der Festung Ehrenbreitstein nach Vallendar

Another fantastic tour in fantastic weather. 👍 Wonderful views of the Rhine, Moselle, and the Deutsches Eck from above, as well as unplanned discoveries in the small town of Vallendar. A perfect day with my @bbhexe💙💛 👍

May 4, 2023,Rheinsteig: Vallendar->Koblenz

At the end of the holiday there is a short, easy stage: From Vallendar it goes on small paths through and past villages. You suddenly find yourself on the Ehrenbreitstein plateau where the BUGA took place in 2011. Unfortunately, nothing is left of it except for the lookout tower, the paths and a lot of lawn; but you have a …

April 8, 2025,🐐Von Ehrenbreitstein nach Vallendar🐐

Despite the SEV, we decided to do the tour. It was exactly the right decision. We took the museum lift up first, then descended along the hiking trail! Afterwards, we were treated to wonderful views of the Rhine Valley.
