Eltz Castle

Highlight • Castle

Castle Eltz towers like a fairytale castle on a 129 meter high hill in the valley of Elz, a small tributary of the Moselle, which flows around the castle from three sides. The castle had been "lucky" in the course of its history: it could never be conquered by force and was already tended by the owner in the 19th century, cared for and restored for a lot of money, so that today it still stands really well. By the way, for more than 800 years she has been in the possession of the family von and to Eltz-Kempenich, who is committed to ensuring that the castle is maintained and made accessible to the public in the future. In the summer months you can visit the castle. However, you can not drive up to the castle - the steep, small way there you prefer to attack on foot.

View of the Moselstraße

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can cycle very well along the Moselle. Unfortunately, it is also very close to the main road...

Moselle Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

One can really only recommend the whole Moselle cycle path. Of course there are also sections here and there that you personally don't like.

Müden lock and weir on the Mosel

Highlight • Structure

the third to last barrage on the Moselle (or the third if the direction of travel is different). Koblenz and Lehmen are the first and second.

Here is the list of all Moselle barrages:

We drove all over the place, sometimes to Komoot, sometimes to signs and also over hill and dale. Those who like adventure are ok, but definitely not suitable for everyone, but with a great view of Eltz Castle 😊.
