alte burg

We came upon this structure early in the morning so could not go in, but it was our introduction to the old town of Koblenz, and it was strikingly attractive and a welcoming landmark. This is a great little area and beyond this building it's for strolling if you have a little time.

This is a place I have heard about since I was a little girl, how romantic it was, beautiful and many other things, and in many ways it is, but when you have been to many German towns and cities as I have, the Alte Burg although it is nice, is not as nice as others. I don't want to mislead you; maybe I had imagined something else. For me it was prettier the Castle and fortresses along the Rihine.

You will likely walk around the city. It is a very easy walk; just wear comfortable shoes. Thus you will likely come upon this structure which is worth a quick look. It is located on the Mosel river side.

We didn't go inside this and had passed it once before without really noticing it! It does have some history and a pretty little courtyard.

note that you have to walk uphill and down to get to the castle. The person on the entrance tell that it is 800 mts, but is amost 1100 and up and down hill. There is a shuttle bus that costs 4 euros. There is a nice restaurant on the castle and tours in english.

Former 13th century electoral water castle and was enclosed by a wide moat and Curtain wall. On the remains of a Roman round tower a Romanesque residential tower was built by family von Arken. Archbishop Heinrich II von Finstigen had it 1277 expanded as outer bailey, the Lombard band at the second floor is its original height. Under Archbishop Otto von Ziegenhain the Eastern Tower arose, the octagonal storey served as ribvaulted Chapel. Otto ordered the build of the connection from the former city bridge gate with the originally free-standing west tower. Under archbishops Johann VI von der Leyen and Johann VIII von Orsbeck extensions and conversion took place. Damaged during the invasion of the French revolutionary troops in 1688 and 1794. Under French rule a tinware factory moved in the building in 1806 which was closed down in 1897, then the Castle was sold to the city of Koblenz, in 1938 used by the control of the Hitler Youth. Only minor damage during WW II, completely restored in 1960-1962. Since 2002 it is listed as UNESCO World Heritage, currently it houses the Koblenz city archive.

Ехали на машине, остановились чтобы прокатиться на канатной дороге и наткнулись на крепость, именно с этого места открывается изумительный вид на Кобленц. рекомендую заглянуть за видами на долину, очень впечатляет.

Отличный альтштадт, как и во всех похожих немецких городах. Больше всего понравилось прогуливаться по набережной и кататься на канатке к крепости на противоположном берегу!

Vista deslumbrante do castelo do alto da montanha. Pena que fomos na época em que o local fica fechado acredito que por conta do inverno mas vale ir até o acesso de carro e ver do alto da montanha.

В Кобленце был проездом, на осмотр города оставалось 2-3 часа и я вполне успел. Т.е. старый город очень небольшой, но при этом очень симпатичный и колоритный. Если не зацикливаться на пафосном немецком углу, а пройтись дальше по набережной и вглубь города, впечатление остаётся очень позитивное.

Одна из рекомендуемых для посещения крепость в долине Рейна. Сверху открываются виды на Кобленц , реку Мозель и Рейн. В старые времена удобное место для обзора за происходящим на реке

Wir hatten am 2. Weihnachtsfeiertag reservier.Der Empfang durch zwei junge Damen war ausgesprochen nett.Ich hatte Rumpsteak mit Creme Cafe Paris und meine Frau gefüllte Kalbsbrust.Als amuse bouche reichte man uns Brote mit leckerem Griebenschmalz.Das Essen kam sehr schnell, obwohl die Gaststube bis zum letzten Platz gefüllt war.Das Essen war top - was man vom wirklich seeeehr rustikalen Ambiente so nicht dachte.Jederzeit wieder und wird auf' s Wärmste empfohlen!

Die Alte Burg steht am Moselufer und sieht von dort aus auch sehr romantisch aus. Leider ist sie von der Landseite her in Bezug auf das Stadtbild völlig " verschenkt ", die Umgebung ist schäusslich.

Deze burcht is absoluut een omweg waard (en wat een omweg). Heel bijzondere locatie met goeie gids die de Engelse taal domineert. Mooie schatkamer.Zeker doen... maar kies voor een zonnige dag.

Coblenza è una città fantastica!!! Piena di fiori e di giardini, il lungo Reno è eccezionale, ed il vecchio centro storico ha delle case che sembrano da fiaba!!
