On three sides Ehrenbreitstein is inaccessible, and the , where alone it could be attacked, is defended by a doubleline of bastions, which would have to be taken successively beforean enemy could enter. The view is one of the finest on theRhine. It comprises the rich plain of the Rhine from Stolzenfelsto Andernach and the volcanic peaks of l he Maifeld and Eifel(R. 11.). Immediately below are the Rhine, the Moselle and thetriangular town of Coblenz. Fort Asterstein, situated on the Pfaffendorfer Hohe, to theS. of Ehrenbreitstein, completes the fortifications of this bank ofthe Rhine. A projecting terrace on the N.
