Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Koblenz
Two rivers meet at the tip of Koblenz, and a gigantic bronze-and-stone monument marks the spot. The German Corner, the Deutsches Eck, is a green point of land where the Moselle slides into the Rhine, with a copy of an equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I standing on a high plinth at the end. The Romans called the place Confluentes, the confluence, and the name has worn down over two thousand years into Koblenz. Across the Rhine, the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein sits on a rocky ridge above the water, reached by cable car, and the view from the walls takes in both rivers and the whole old town.

3. Trier
Trier claims to be the oldest city in Germany, and it can make a respectable case. The Romans founded it as Augusta Treverorum around the end of the first century before Christ, and by the fourth century it was one of the capitals of the empire, a city of emperors, with palaces, baths and a circus. Constantine the Great lived here for years before he moved east, and the city's buildings from this period are so impressive that UNESCO lists a group of them together with the cathedral and the Church of Our Lady.
