April 6, 2024,Schloss Stolzenfels 🏰🧭– Runde von Koblenz nach Stolzenfels über Horchheim und Ehrenbreitstein und wieder nach Koblenz

Today we had a lovely long walk from Koblenz to Stolzenfels and the castle of the same name and then across the other side of the Rhine via Horchheim and Ehrenbreitstein back to Koblenz.
In picture 65 (taken at the Deutsches Eck) you can clearly see how the Moselle (left) and Rhine (right) flow together.
