July 13 – Back on the train for the two hour ride south to Koblenz. This is a much smaller city, that sits at the Deutches Eck, where the Moselle River meets the Rhine.
Quaint architecture, old fashioned but not oldCute little statues with moveable armsA pedestrian shopping street They have a Woolworth here!We looked into the Church of Our Lady, which has been an active parish since the 600s. Parts of this building dates from 1180, with renovations after WWII.The altarpiece New stained glassA bit of wall art the sign says “to the little kettle”These statues had little plaques posted next to them, but we didn’t get the jokes…Pretty flourishesWe walked toward the river A statue of Kaiser Wilhelm on his horse, accompanied by an angelThis is the Eck (corner) – where the Moselle River on the right flows into the RhineRhine River cruises on one sideA not very old (rebuilt) castle on the other sideThere is a monument celebrating all the different regions that make up GermanyWe popped into the modern art museum. There was one Picasso….… but otherwise, we were not impressed I had been craving a good doner for a while, and this was the town to get one. With the addition of a little red cabbage for a uniquely German twist, it was delicious!Thanks Koblenz – we had a great time!
