The night of a 1000 fires

Oberwesel is the pearl of the Middle-Rhine. The town is marked by the architecture of the middle ages. Its walls with their 16 towers are particularly impressive. On the second saturday in February partying is the order of the day in this middle Rhine town. On the “night of a thousand fires” the sky over the town is metamorphosed into a sea of light as fireworks light up the river banks.

The echoes of their explosions resound through the steep cliffs of the Rhine-Valley. From the illuminated cliffs of the Loreley you can here the alluring song of the Rhine’s most seductive female. She sings as the town’s folk party until the early hours.
