Tuesday 26th August

We departed from Trier and travelled down the valley of the River Moselle through Cochem to Koblenz.  The steep sides of the valley were covered with vines for almost the entire 140km.  The Youth Hostel at Koblenz is situated in part of the old fort overlooking the junction of the Rhine and the Moselle.  The view from the fort is magnificent, and it is extremely high and completely dominates Koblenz.

Unfortunately we arrived a little late, so we had to be content with a bed in a tent within the fort, and not the dormitory.
