On the Schmittenhöhe in Koblenz, you can see Konik horses and water buffalo alongside the Taurus cattle. A very beautiful pasture landscape.

The monument, which is 37 meters high in total – 14 meters of which are accounted for by the equestrian statue depicting Emperor Wilhelm I with a genius – is now a magnet for more than 2 million visitors annually and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Upper Middle Rhine Valley” since 2002.
