Mosel, Germany: Mosel River and Burg Eltz Castle - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite

Beautiful country! Great people

Such a lovely castle and beautiful video

Ben there. Went through it with a German speaking guide but still neat.

butt cheek on a mc chicken. lol no way someone is going to see this comment

what amazing castle. wish to visit

Pity I haven't seen this castle, but I have seen another similar one on the Rhine.

The Moselle river is on my itinerary but I am trying to find a river cruise company that just does the Moselle and that allows you to visit as many places as possible along the Moselle. I have been along the Rhine so I don't want to repeat that part. 

Thank you for your lovely informative videos! They bring back memories of my trips in Europe :)

mi sueño!! algún día iré!!

I don't see how 3 people can dislike this. You were very informative and thank you.

.....Great!......your next Flick:  'WereWolf or Eltz'

The story has been passed down in my family that we had ties to one of the three families. I have documents from the 18th century indicating this, but cant seem to authenticate it beyond that. Surname was Ulrich at that time which obviously is not one of the originals.....would be cool though to trace it that far back, After my family immigrated to America around 1900, the earlier records were scarce.

Well I can see why it's your favorite! Just absolutely incomprehensible in its beauty and originality! So glad it wasn't damaged or demolished in World War II like that other fortification on the hill in Italy, Monte Cassino, where it had remained unharmed since I think the 1300's!

You posted quite a while ago so you might never get this, but I'm pretty sure that intro is something by Hayden.

The Burg Eltz intro classical song sounds great, I wonder what it's called? It almost sounds like Moby's "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters"

Thank you Steve! Without your report we would have missed Burg Eltz. Off the beaten path, It is a fascinating place and well worth the effort to get there. My wife and I were there last week. At the present time the castle is undergoing some much needed structural repairs but the tours are still fully open.

You're absolutely right Rick. Burg Eltz is the most beautiful castle in Europe. Undamaged and intact. The Count Eltz still lives in parts of the castle.

Nice!
