Top 9 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Andernach, Rhineland-Palatinate
Andernach (German pronunciation: [ˈandɐˌnax]) is a town in the district of Mayen-Koblenz, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, of currently about 30,000 inhabitants. It is situated towards the end of the Neuwied basin on the left bank of the Rhine between the former tiny fishing village of Fornich in the north and the mouth of the small river Nette in the southeast, just 13 miles (21 km) north of Koblenz, with its five external town districts: Kell, Miesenheim, Eich, Namedy, and Bad Tönisstein. A few hundred metres downstream of Andernach the Rhine valley narrows from both sides forming the northern part of the romantic Middle Rhine stretch. Already in Roman times the place the narrow passage begins was named "Porta Antunnacensis" or Andernachian Gate. It is formed by two hills, the Krahnenberg (engl. Crane hill) and the Engwetter (Narrow weather) on the right bank near the wine village Leutesdorf (external town district of Bad Hönningen). The crane hill is named after the old crane beneath his foot (see below); in earlier times (until 1650) the hill was named "Geiersberg" ("Vulture's hill").

Reviewed By EvaF2Eva - Weissenburg in Bayern, Germany
Originally customs bastion serves today as a memorial to fallen in WWI and WWII but it looks like some sacred ritual place. We spent quite a lot of time discovering all its details and enjoying nice views to the river it offers. There are so many little thinks attracting visitor's attention that I almost missed the decoration on its floor. I don't know if they have any special meaning but they looked interesting and it would be a shame to overlook them.
