Eltz Castle

Eltz Castle and its surroundings are outstanding. After parking the car, we walked down to the castle, which is located next to the Eltz, a tributary of the Moselle River. Normally castles or fortresses of this type are usually located on the top, so that this situation would indicate that their goals were more commercial, applying a toll on merchants who traded in the area. Over time, three lines of the Eltz family built their rooms throughout the castle: The Rübenach in 1472, the Rodendorf Kempenich in 1540 and in 1615. Currently, the castle belonging to Count Karl, line Golden Lion Tours are in English and German, guiding us through the various rooms, which retain the main furniture.
