Eltz Castle

Eltz Castle attracted my attention because it is still owned by a branch of the same Eltz family that lived there in the 12th century, 33 generations ago! In addition, Bürresheim Castle, Eltz Castle and Lissingen Castle are the only castles that have never been destroyed on the left bank of the Rhine River. It is an easy half a day trip from Koblenz. I had a nice stroll from the parking lot to the castle with gorgeous views on the way. To get inside the castle you have to join a guided tour. I enjoyed the visit a lot.
