Forest Path to Eltz Castle

Highlight • Trail

A hiking trail that often does not allow any distant views and only a sparse view of the valley in leafy months. The path leads to Eltz Castle and is therefore frequented by tourists.

Burg Eltz is beautiful! The round around the castle is a lot of climbing and descending on a forest road without any real views of the surroundings.

Eltz Castle is absolutely worth seeing. Unfortunately, photography was not permitted during the tour, except in the treasury. A shame!

Today we were on the Moselle, looked at Eltz Castle and then went for a short walk around the area. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos inside, except in the treasury. It was very interesting, some of the jewelry and weapons are over 500 years old and very well preserved or restored. It was something different than usual, …

The tour of the castle afterwards was super interesting. "Our" castle guide let us dive into the different epochs with a lot of wit and …

We were still able to enjoy the calm before the storm that will develop here starting next weekend. Despite the castle's closed season, there were a few hikers out and about, but we encountered very few on our circular route. Every now and then, this short walk offers a glimpse of the castle, which has undergone interesting growth over the …

Great hike, with a long uphill section at the end. There are too many tourists around the castle for me. They take the shuttle bus to the castle. You don't meet many hikers on the circular trail.
