We bought tickets for the Koblenz Cable Car. With ‘kombitickets’ the cable car whisked up and higher still plonking us down near the huge castle on a cliff. Suffering from vertigo I had my eyes close for most of the ascent. In the castle grounds, lovely meadows of wild flowers and perennials, there was a viewing platform providing great views across the whole city, both the Rhine and the Mosel rivers and far into the distance of industrial NW Germany.

We could not quite figure out the attraction of the castle, except perhaps the coffee shop terrace with views across Koblenz. What was interesting was the Archaeology and Antiquities Museum; full of marvellous Roman bits and bobs!
And so we slid back down on the ‘Seilbahn’ and after a short walk to the station and we were at the station for the train back to Frankfurt Airport.
A good tour, company, wine and food, keeping company with the broad languorous Mosel.
