Germany has more castles than almost any other country in the world — from Ludwig II's fairy-tale Neuschwanstein to the hilltop stronghold of Eltz, the Reformation fortress of Wartburg, and the Hohenzollern ancestral seat. Most castles are day-trippable from major cities, with the Rhine and Moselle valleys offering clusters that reward a slower multi-day exploration.
