The "Rhine in Flames" fireworks spectacle takes place every year along the most beautiful stretches of the Rhine.
Look forward to the fireworks in the Rhine Valley with a unique scenery of castles and wine villages. Bengal fires, showers of sparks, cascades of light and staccato lightning are always twice as beautiful when reflected on the river.
Rhine in Flames has taken place since 1956. But the idea and tradition go back much further. The first fireworks in Koblenz shot up into the sky in 1756 in honour of the new Electoral Prince of Trier, Johann Philipp von Waldendorff. This spectacular was outdone by the honeymoon of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on the river yacht ‘Fairy’ from Cologne via Koblenz to Stolzenfels in 1845. All the villages and castles around Koblenz were lit up, and English correspondents described the fireworks at Stolzenfels Castle as the best they had ever seen.
Register by 25th July.
