The German Cape is a piece of land located at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers in Koblenz, Germany. There is a magnificent bronze equestrian sculpture of the first emperor of the German Empire, William I. On the top of the mountain opposite the berth is the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Around 1000 AD, a small castle building appeared here. In the following centuries, the electors of Trier converted it into a fortress. Later, it was destroyed by the French, and the Kingdom of Prussia also sent people to repair the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. This fortress is one of the most powerful fortresses built in Europe after 1815, and it is still well preserved.

Max Castle is the only castle along the Rhine River that has not been destroyed by war. It perfectly preserves the life and history of medieval people. We are leisurely here, slowly appreciating their majestic architecture. European architecture is unique and worth slowly appreciating.

【Scenery】Very beautiful and well-preserved castle outside of Steinberg Palace! There is a museum in the castle! Behind the castle is the beautiful castle garden 【Fun】This is a great place for a day trip. It was built by Karl Theodore. You can visit the castle and visit two museums. One about the wildlife and plants in the area and the other about the gardens.

At the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, I was on the scene in Rembrandt's prime time, witnessed the open restoration of "The Night Watch," encountered Vermeer, and came across exquisite Delftware. I was deeply moved by the art of the Dutch Golden Age.
