Paddle steamers and a freight train below Koblenz, 1937

Looking steeply down through the treetops, the eye falls on a railway yard along the river bank, where a long train of goods wagons rolls past, and on the Rhine beyond, where three white paddle steamers ride at their moorings and a smaller boat crosses the current. The view from the heights of Ehrenbreitstein had been a sight for travellers since the Romantic age; the excursion steamers of the Rhine lines carried them upstream towards the Lorelei.
