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.

May 27, 2022,Moselkern und Burg Eltz

Today's program included a visit to one of the hotspots on the Moselle. Eltz Castle, picturesque, winding. Our timing couldn't have been better. After passing the cash register, it started to rain heavily and we just managed to get a seat under an umbrella. After a home-style refreshment, the rain stopped and we went on an informative and entertaining tour. …

After our last visit to the Moselle and the visit to the Reichsburg in Cochem, Eltz Castle was still on my to-do list. The path from Moselkern up …

March 7, 2026,Burg Eltz – Moselsteig am Elzbach Runde von Moselkern

A fantastic hike to Eltz Castle in glorious spring weather. Most of the paths were already perfectly dry and easy to walk on. Unfortunately, Eltz Castle doesn't reopen until the end of March. The sun's position wasn't ideal for taking photos of the castle. To top it all off, we treated ourselves to cake and wine.
