As a modern funicular, you glide almost silently up about 94 meters in height and enjoy an impressive view of the historic surroundings. The valley station is centrally located in the town center, and the mountain station is directly on the fortress grounds – ideal for visitors who want to reach the cultural center with the state museum, events, and gastronomy without a strenuous climb.

The elevator is designed to be barrier-free and is therefore also comfortable for families with strollers, elderly people, and wheelchair users. It is integrated into public transport and operates like a normal elevator: with the press of a button, you start your ride daily from early morning until late at night. Whether for a museum visit, a concert, or simply to enjoy the panoramic view over Koblenz, the Deutsches Eck, and the Rhine Valley – the fortress elevator is the fastest and most convenient way to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress and thus an attractive part of a stay in Koblenz.

On the fortress grounds, there is also access to the hiking trail "Rheinsteig".
