What you can expect

Travel into the dense forest to discover the majestic Eltz Castle perched among tree-covered hills along the banks of the Moselle River. Explore the well-preserved interior of this spectacular castle, which remains nearly untouched since medieval times, and behold the wide variety of treasures.

Leave the bustling city of Frankfurt behind and head into the woods until you reach the banks of the Moselle River. Towering high above the surrounding green landscape is the 850-year-old Eltz Castle. Approach the castle in awe, as the sight before you appears as if it came straight out of the pages of a fairy tale.

Step inside to wander the extravagant halls of this grandiose royal mansion, which has remained in the possession of the Eltz family for more than 30 generations. Stroll through the royal bedroom chambers, the armory, the knights' hall, and the hunting room. Learn interesting facts about each room as you witness these well-preserved spaces that are largely furnished with original pieces.

Venture into the castle vault to uncover one of Europe’s foremost treasure chambers, where a renowned collection of medieval goldsmiths' work and precious artifacts can be found. After exploring the castle inside and out, enjoy dinner at a lovely restaurant in the Rhine Valley before heading back to Frankfurt.
