Path Along the Rock Face Near Burg Pyrmont

Highlight • Trail

From Pyrmont Castle, there is a wonderful, romantic path that leads along a 10-meter-high rock face. There is also a shaft entrance.

Long Footbridge Along the Elzbach

Highlight • Bridge

The rock walls rise so close to the banks of the Elz that the only alternative is over the water :-) Luckily, they took precautions and built a footbridge...

Castle Eltz towers like a fairytale castle on a 129 meter high hill in the valley of Elz, a small tributary of the Moselle, which flows around the castle from three sides. The castle had been "lucky" in the course of its history: it could never be conquered by force and was already tended by the owner in the 19th century, cared for and restored for a lot of money, so that today it still stands really well. By the way, for more than 800 years she has been in the possession of the family von and to Eltz-Kempenich, who is committed to ensuring that the castle is maintained and made accessible to the public in the future. In the summer months you can visit the castle. However, you can not drive up to the castle - the steep, small way there you prefer to attack on foot.
