Cultural landscape in the Middle Rhine, part of the World Heritage of UNESCO
Upper Middle Rhine Valley is the 65 km (40 mi) southern section of the Middle Rhine between Koblenz and Rüdesheim in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse in Germany. It was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in June 2002 because of its beauty as a cultural landscape, its importance as a route of transport across Europe, and the unique adaptations of the buildings and terraces to the steep slopes of the gorge.
