Höhr-Grenzhausen is the focus of the Kannenbäckerland (“can bakery country”) in the Westerwald. Earlier there were baked clay pots or jars of the clay of the region. For that the Westerwald was known nationwide. Because of this it is a great idea to visit the “Keramikmuseum Westerwald” (a museum of ceramics) or the “Burg Grenzau” (Grenzau castle). It’s a old ruine of a castle that is the only castle in germany that has a triangular castle keep.

The seafarer were so amazed by the mermaid, so that they payed no attention to the currents and they went to ground with their ships. Now its a popular place for everyone, because the sight of the cliffs is spectacular. Also you can visit many concerts and events at the open air stage of the Loreley.

Andernach is one of the oldest citys in germany. It’s about quarter of an hour by car to drive from Koblenz to Andernach. The biggest attraction of the city is the “Andernacher Geysir”. This geyser is with 50 to 60 meters the highest cold water geyser at the world. At the Rhein plants you can walk a nice route and if you get hungry just eat the tasty fruits you can find in the whole city. Like other citys in germany, Andernach is an “eatable city”. It means they plant fruits and vegetables all over the town and the people just can eat it. This project is meant to direct attention to reagional and saisonal food.
