3Eltz Castle: A Hidden Gem in the Forest
Nestled deep in the Eifel Hills, Eltz Castle is one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval castles and a true hidden gem. Unlike many other castles, Eltz has remained in the hands of the same family for over 850 years and was never destroyed in wars, making it a rare example of authentic medieval architecture.
Surrounded by dense forests and perched on a rock above the Elzbach River, Eltz Castle is as enchanting as it is secluded. Its turrets and towers rise gracefully above the treetops, creating a picture-perfect scene. Inside, visitors can explore beautifully preserved rooms filled with original furnishings, artwork, and artifacts from centuries past. The castle’s armory and treasure vault are also must-see attractions, offering a glimpse into the wealth and power of the Eltz family.
