Following the 1,320-km course of the Rhine from its source in Switzerland to the river's mouth in the North Sea, the most interesting section is without doubt the Middle Rhine and the Rhine Valley between Mainz and Bonn. The region has been shaped by legends and fairytales, as well as a number of historical and political events, medieval battles, the religious feuds of the Electors, and spiritual and military conflicts. The route derives its name from the Song of the Nibelungs. Written in 1200, it tells of how the sinister Hagen, whose family home is said to have been in the Hunsrück region, sunk the legendary Nibelung's treasure here in the Rhine.Klotten Wildlife and Leisure Park
Klotten Wildlife and Leisure Park is situated on a ridge between Cochem and Klotten, surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery along the Moselle. Set amidst a wealth of ancient woodland, the park has a number of exotic and native wild animals kept in large open-air enclosures. The adventure park and playground with its Nautic-Jet ride, cable car, roller coaster, various carousels, swings and other rides is a thrill for children of all ages.
