Deutsches Eck
The tip of land where the Rhine meets the Moselle, crowned by a 37-m equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I. It's the landmark of Koblenz.
Deutsches Eck (German Corner) marks the northern start of the valley. On the promontory stands a 37-m equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I. Steps lead up to views over the confluence of the two rivers and across to the Ehrenbreitstein fortress on the opposite bank. Nearby are fragments of the Berlin Wall commemorating German reunification, and behind lies the old town of Koblenz. Entry is free. It's about a 25-minute walk from Koblenz Hauptbahnhof and is also where the KD cruise pier is located.
