I'm a simple emigrant and I continue to explore Germany

It turned out that I ended up with a full week of vacation while the borders were closed. Well, I had to look for options in Germany, since going to the sea wasn't possible yet, so I opened a map and randomly chose a city nearby. Koblenz is only about an hour and a half from Frankfurt by train, and Google said there are many castles around and two major rivers, which is enough for a bunch of beautiful photos on the internet. Honestly, I still haven't quite figured out what in Germany counts as separate cities and what parts are suburbs. In general, I stayed about a 40-minute bus ride from Koblenz's center. A super quiet and peaceful place, exactly what you need to rest from Frankfurt. Three days are plenty to manage to see the German Corner — the place where the Moselle meets the Rhine, the city center, the statue of Emperor Wilhelm I; there too, from the embankment, by the funicular, you can reach Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Unfortunately, due to the situation at the time we couldn't do the last two items: everything was closed, and in general it is considered one of the largest surviving fortifications in Europe. Now there is a City Museum there. The next day we dedicated to a trip to a castle. For example, we decided to walk on foot (about 1.5 hours) to Stolzenfels Castle. It was built in 1250, and its owners had the right to collect Rhine customs duties. This complex is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Unfortunately we could only walk around the outside, but if you're nearby, know that there is one of the most valuable collections of aristocratic household items of that period. On the way back, by the way, the bus we wanted to take decided not to come, and the next one was only in an hour, so we decided to walk back. On the third day go to Ruppertsklamm — this is a mountain gorge 2 km deep, carved by a small stream. This is a protected area, which, by the way, is also on the UNESCO list. We walked for a very long time through the mountains to the water, and then along the stream, trying to find the start, but at some point it became clear that the landscape doesn't change and the end of the gorge isn't visible. Then we decided to go home, this time choosing the road for cars. In the end we ended up at the Autobahn and, not knowing whether we could catch public transport at such a late time, we couldn't think of anything better than simply walking home to another town. I recommend checking out this place; perhaps I will return there someday. #German_trips
