Eltz Castle

Leave central Frankfurt and travel by coach to the hills of Moselle River, just north of Koblenz. Your destination is Eltz Castle, a glorious medieval fortress nestled deep in the woodland atop a 230-foot (70-meter) cliff. Rising out of the forest like a fairytale palace, the castle towers over the Elzbach Valley below, and its views are said to be some of the most spectacular in Germany. After traveling for roughly 1.5 hours, hop off your coach and head inside the castle, seeing its key sites on a walking tour. Having been left intact for some 700 years, Eltz Castle remains furnished pretty much as it always had been, so its interior is a delight to see. Admire the living and sleeping rooms, and then walk through the lavish armory room, where nearly 500 pieces of jewelry and ceremonial weapons are displayed. Wander through the hunting room, adorned with bear rugs, and hear tales of the servants who once worked in the castle while exploring the kitchens. Learn about the Eltz family who ordered the castle to be built in the 12th century, and hear how the different branches of the family built their own towers within the castle over the following 400 years. Return to your coach and travel back toward Frankfurt, crossing the Rhine River. Stop at a riverside restaurant and sit down to enjoy a dinner featuring local delicacies and wine (drinks at own expense). Savor the meal while watching the sun go down over the Rhine, and then head back to your coach for the return trip to Frankfurt.

    Our tour guide, Peter, provided an outstanding explanation of the history of the castle and showed us all the rooms of the castle. Also, he stopped on the way back to ensure we get the best pictures of the castle. It was truly a great experience and I appreciated his guiding us, as a group.

  • Great tour- but NOT in a luxury vehicle!

    Great time visiting Berg Eltz and Rhine River Valley. The area is simply stunning. Our guide was good and was able to add in a few extra stops for photos. Berg Eltz only takes about 45 mins to fully tour. It is gorgeous and very well maintained. The only negative to the trip was the van ride. The ford van was sweltering hot and extremely uncomfortable. The high temp was over 90 degrees and the ac did not cool and windows did not roll down. We felt like we were being slowly cooked. The ride was over 4 hrs, so the ride being so uncomfortable made the trip less enjoyable. Overalll nice tour and I was glad I took it.

    My tour was canceled and replaced with Hohenzollern Castle. I wanted to go inside a castle so it didn't matter to me which one. The day started off foggy and drizzly but after touring the rooms and going outside, the sun started to shine. Thomas was a great guide. Friendly, very patient and let us take our time. If he hadn't been, I don't think we would have been able to see the views from the castle. It truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity and greatful for swapped tours.
