Rittersturz, Scenic viewpoint in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Rittersturz is a viewpoint near Koblenz that rises high above the Rhine valley, offering views across the river bend and surrounding forests. The site features a flat viewing platform with benches for visitors to sit and take in the panorama.
The viewpoint was developed in the early 20th century as a destination for visitors to experience the Rhine river landscape. It became part of a broader effort to open the Rhine region to tourism.
The viewpoint represents the German tradition of establishing accessible natural spaces where people gather to appreciate the regional landscapes and outdoor activities.
The site is easily reached by car and has a large parking area at the top of the hill. Well-maintained walking paths connect to regional hiking routes in the surrounding area.
From this spot you see the famous Rhine bend at Boppard in its full width, one of Europe's most striking river loops. On clear days you can see for many kilometers and understand the geological shaping of the landscape.
