Set in the Moselle valley, Burg Eltz is one of Germany’s loveliest medieval castles. This castle has a 900 year history (and managed to avoid destruction through that time) and is still owned by the original family. After admiring the turrets and towers, you’ll enjoy a 40 minute tour of the inside.
We recommend the 5km hike through a German forest from the Moselkern train station to get to the castle. It’s a beautiful hike and makes the castle feel more fairy-tale like. However if you can’t hike, park at the Eltz car park and grab a shuttle or quicker walk (1.3 km) to the castle.
