What to expect
Burg Eltz is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle between Koblenz and Trier, Germany. It is still owned by a branch of House of Eltz who have lived there since the 12th century. The castle stands on a 70-metre-high rock spur that is bounded on three sides by the river Elzbach, a tributary on the north side of the Moselle. The surrounding Eltz Forest has been declared a nature reserve. The castle is a so-called Ganerbenburg, or castle belonging to a community of joint heirs, and is divided into several parts, which belong to different families or different branches of a family. It has a Romanesque keep, a Gothic chapel, and several towers, including the Platteltz, the Rübenacher Haus, and the Kempenicher Haus. The castle also features a restaurant, a shop, and offers guided tours
