About 60 miles west of Koblenz, you will find the town of Nurburg. There, you will find the world famous Nürburgring race track, and for about 20dm ($10 US) you can drive the 14 miles of the old course in your personal car. You can also hike up to the Nurburg castle and view the area from the top of the keep. I go here every summer and have a fantastic drive and visit. If you are into wine, the Mosel valley, slightly south of the Nürburgring, is Germany's wine-growing region, and Cochem is it's major summer spot.

Deutsches Eck
by Ewingjr98
The Deutsches Eck -- or Corner of Germany -- is a great description of this piece of land where the Mosel and Rhein Rivers meet. Today this public area is dominated by an enormous statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I, who ruled Germany until his death in 1888. The original statue was constructed during his Grandson Wilhelm II's reign, in 1897. Wilhelm II is most famous for his role in starting World War I.
The statue was destroyed in 1945 near the end of World War II, and replaced in 1953 with a monument for Germany's army. In 1993, a replica of the original Wilhelm I statue was erected at this site and stands today.
Festung Ehrenbreitstein

A small ferry takes you across to the other side of the Rhein where you can either walk or take the chair lift to the top of the hill where the Fortress stands. From here you can get the very best views of the Deutsches Eck.
