[b]How to reach of the hostel in Coblence[/b] Getting to the hostel is possible in various ways. Main Station ("Hauptbahnhof") Koblenz (do not mix it with "Koblenz Stadmitte"!).

A ride on the funicular costs for guests DJH 3.00 EUR (per adult) and 1.50 EUR (for children / adolescents). There are two options available for visitors of DJH (Youth Hostel organization): "DJH" and "DJH Tür (door)". Unfortunately, there is no explanation to it. But you should choose on the arrival and departure "DJH Tür (door)" or you'll have a problem with the baggage that that is not fit through the turnstile. If you are traveling without baggage, you may well go to the ferry Ehrenbreitstein and then cross over. For holders of a day pass of the Koblenz local traffic operators, the ferry ride is free. Otherwise 2,00 EUR. Watch out! The ferry runs only until 18:55 h. Or you can use the cable car. Single ticket 6,00 EUR for adults and a return ticket 8.00 EUR (as an evening ticket 5,50 EUR).
