See you in Koblenz. - Bundesgartenschau Koblenz 2011

SaleS guide
See you
in Koblenz.
Set against a backdrop of vineyards and romantic castles on the banks of Rhine and
Moselle, the town of Koblenz already attracts large numbers of visitors with its rich
array of tourist attractions.
As host to the Federal Horticultural Show Koblenz 2011 (Bundesgartenschau: BUGA),
the town is gaining extra appeal in the form of three regenerated sites at the Electoral
Palace, the Blumenhof courtyard near Deutsches Eck (German Corner) and on the
plateau of the Ehrenbreitstein fortress. And then of course, there’s the star attraction
of the BUGA Koblenz 2011: the new aerial cable car.
So you can start looking forward to a very special summer in the only town on Rhine
and Moselle. Experience unforgettable moments:
at a summer-long festival that will see Koblenz changed.

these in an entirely new light and forging aesthetic links with the
modern age, one example being the spectacular aerial cable car
which spans a distance of 850 metres and offers breathtaking views
of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Upper Middle Rhine Valley”.
