About this place
Eltz Castle is a high-value seed because it is both famous and distinct from the Rhine's open river castles. Tucked into a wooded side valley above the Moselle, it appears suddenly after a forest walk or shuttle ride, with towers, half-timbered upper stories, and furnished interiors. It pairs naturally with Cochem, the Moselle Valley, and western Germany road or rail itineraries.
