One of walls of that fort has survived till our days and nowadays this is one of the most important sights of the city.

One of the symbolical places in the city is named “German Triangle”. This is part of the embankment that is limited by flows of the rivers mentioned above. The central part of the embankment is the location of the statue of Wilhelm I. He was the first emperor of united Germany. Tourists are usually advised to visit Festung Ehrenbreinstein.
