Andernach Geyser, Cold-water geyser in Andernach, Germany.
The geyser releases fountains of water that reach heights of 60 meters through a 350-meter-deep artesian well in the Rhine River.
First drilled in 1903 on the Namedy Peninsula for mineral water extraction, the geyser remained inactive between 1957 and 2006 due to construction work.
The Geysir Museum presents interactive exhibits and multimedia installations that explain the formation and function of geothermal phenomena to visitors.
Access to the geyser requires a boat trip on MS Namedy from the museum, with the complete experience lasting approximately three hours.
The Guinness Book of Records certified this natural formation as the highest cold-water geyser on Earth in November 2008.

Rhineland-Palatinate preserves centuries of European fortification architecture across a region shaped by river valleys and forested highlands. Medieval castles like Eltz Castle rise above the Moselle loop at Bremm, while Pfalzgrafenstein Castle sits on a Rhine island at Kaub, where it once controlled river traffic. Roman foundations lie beneath later structures such as Limburg Monastery near Bad Dürkheim, and Romanesque abbeys like Maria Laach demonstrate monastic design from the 11th century. The landscape ranges from the Teufelsfels rock formation in the Hunsrück to the ruins of Hardenburg, among the largest fortress complexes in the state. From the Rhine Valley with Stolzenfels Castle and the Loreley to the Palatinate fortresses of Hambach and Trifels, these sites document the region's strategic importance. Pyrmont Castle stands beside a waterfall near Roes, while the ruins of Frankenstein Castle near Kaiserslautern show medieval defensive works. Natural formations like the Kaltwasser Geysir at Andernach and the Geierlay Suspension Bridge at Mörsdorf complement the historical structures, providing access to the geological features between the Rhine, Moselle and Nahe rivers.
