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.

The Burg Eltz Way of the Cross ends at this cross. Behind the cross there is a small wonderful viewing platform. Unobstructed view of the castle and the Elzbachtal.

Direct access to Eltz Castle is not possible by bike until further notice, i.e. either push it or leave it in the parking lot and walk.

Those exploring the dream trail "Pyrmonter Felsensteig" will reach the highest point of the route on the Sammetzkopf. There, an illuminated summit cross stands prominently, even in the dark. From the Sammetzkopf, an impressive view opens up: It stretches as far as Münstermaifeld with its magnificent collegiate church and further to the volcanoes of the Eastern Eifel. The wide panoramic view over the plateau forms a fascinating yet harmonious contrast to the narrow paths in the Elz Valley.
