July 3 2013 Burg Eltz

After leaving Berlin we went down the Mosel and stopped at Burg Eltz.We drove up to the parking area and then walked to the castle.They have a shuttle that will take you up to the castle but we decided to walk and ride it back.You can also hike in from a town about 1 and a half hours through the forest if you choose.The castle has been in the same family for over 850 years.The setting here is surrounded by trees and all by itself.

Along the Mosel there are lots of vineyards and campgrounds surrounded by small villages.This is a very nice area to just relax and enjoy the surroundings.
