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.

Stone Bridge over the Elzbach

Highlight • Bridge

The Elz is a creek about 60 kilometers long on which the fantastic castle is located. You can hike the Elzbach from its source to its confluence with the Moselle.
