Hidden deep in a rural, wooded dell and perched atop a 70-meter high rock is the striking stone and timber Burg Eltz Castle. For generations Burg Eltz has remained in the care and private ownership of the Eltz family, who have kept the medieval rural fortress perfectly preserved for more than 700 years.
The castle still boasts much of its original furnishings and treasures of gold, silver and porcelain. Take an invigorating hike through the surrounding forest to make the most of your trip to Burg Eltz and enjoy the landscape.
Your first glimpse through the trees of this beautiful old stone and timber castle with its eight soaring towers perfectly perched above the valley floor promises to be magical. Set against the backdrop of a stunning verdant valley and a babbling brook, Burg Eltz is one of the best castles to visit in Germany and an absolute delight for guests of all ages.
