Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 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.
