About the event
Every winter the vast Prussian fortress above Koblenz becomes a walk of light. The route, redesigned for this edition, leads along ramparts, courtyards and bastions dressed in projections and light installations. Entry is by half-hour time slot, which keeps crowds down, and you can stay as long as you like. Children under 6 go free and there are a few family days at a special price. Tip: take the combo ticket with the cable car from the Rhine promenade – the night ride over the river is part of the fun and spares you the paid parking at the top.
