Hiking

This dream trail enchants with impressive views and idyllic paths along the Elzbach stream, crowned by the spectacular cultural highlight: Eltz Castle. The starting point is on the Moselle Plateau in the picturesque town of Wierschem. On the way towards Keldung, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the deeply incised Elzbach Valley and the majestic Pyrmont Castle.

The trail then leads you down into the Elzbach Valley, where the tranquil river landscape and the gentle murmur of the stream create a special atmosphere. Eltz Castle, a true gem among German castles, awaits you – an impressive complex that will transport you back to times gone by and also offers a fantastic vantage point.

For a relaxing break, stop at the Ringelsteiner Mill before hiking up a steep climb back to the Moselle Plateau and finally to Wierschem.

A tour offered by the Rhine-Moselle-Eifel Tourist Board.

Eltz Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.

Eltz Castle is open from April 1st, 2023. The hiking car park is subject to a fee. 3 euros and then for 1 day. Very slippery at the moment, muddy path, would wait until the ground is drier again. The dream path is very nice, had 2 large dogs with me who also had their fun. Drinks offered at the …

🏁from the large hiking car park in Wierschem🧭.
🪙Day ticket 3€.

The path to Eltz Castle leads, among other things, through the romantic Elztal.🌊💙
The Elz runs in large loops.
Sometimes wider, narrower, stormier with small rapids, sometimes deeper to the path or higher.
The hiking trail is sometimes a rocky path, then a root path, a hollow path between …

The last tour this year took me from our long-time New Year's Eve quarters "Schmausemühle" to Eltz Castle. From Moselkern we went over the dream loop through Elztal to Eltz Castle, then over the Eastern Eifel heights to Wieschem and from there back down into the Elztal. After all the rainy last few weeks, it was another wonderful tour at …

Our tour on the Eltz Castle Panorama dream trail began in the picturesque Elzbach valley, where we hiked through dense forests. Suddenly, completely unexpectedly, around a bend, we were presented with a breathtaking view of the fairytale Eltz Castle, which immediately captivated us.
This castle had been on my to-do list for a long time, so we couldn't pass up …

Fantastic start to September. 😍😎
Burg Eltz - 12 euros entry and totally overcrowded 🙈. As a damsel I would have to wear a mask 😷, so I'd rather keep walking 🥾🥾. 😅

Heyho 👋🏽
Yesterday we decided at short notice to spend a long weekend on the Moselle. 🥾🎒

Today was the arrival and it was obvious to do a tour. We decided on the dream path: Eltz Castle Panorama 🏰

A very nice, varied tour through forests 🌳, over fields, along streams and over bridges to the overcrowded Eltz Castle, which …

Fortunately, taste is different. I didn't really need this dream path. The path was well populated despite Monday (okay between the years). Right next to the castle. Sticks are highly recommended.
