Castle Eltz

This is Castle Eltz. It is about an hour from Wiesbaden. It is thought to be one of the best castles in Germany, due to maintaining it's historical preservation. It has been in the same family for 33 generations. It took over five hundred years to build. It was divided into three separate houses for the three families that lived there.


The castle is down in a valley with a steep hill to climb down. This picture was taken from a scenic lookout before walking down the curvy road.

An American couple on vacation on a genealogical search from Minnesota, took our picture before the long walk down into the valley.
