O melhor de Westerwald

Westerwald Unmissables

This collection highlights the cultural and natural landmarks of the Westerwald and Middle Rhine region. It features the UNESCO-listed Roman Limes and the world's highest cold-water geyser in Andernach. Architectural landmarks include the Romanesque Limburg Cathedral, the neo-Gothic Stolzenfels Castle, and the Prussian Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The selection also covers the historic Deutsches Eck confluence in Koblenz and the remains of the Ludendorff Bridge in Remagen, which now houses a museum dedicated to the region's 20th-century history.
