| While all the old castles usually are on hills and high rocks, “Burg Eltz” is hidden down in the woods, unusual, same as its purpose: a majestic castle, dating back to 1160 AD. designed and constructed for a family clan who still occupies part of it today. It’s among the most picturesque and charming castles in Germany. Great guided tour. |

Comparing the attractiveness of the Rhine and the Moselle is a constant topic among travelers. We follow the Moselle upstream along some scenic parts to the old city of Cochem and its prominent, rebuilt castle, the “Reichsburg”. |
| On our way back we will pass the city of Koblenz and see the national highlight of patriotic significance: the merging of Germany’s most prominent rivers, Old Father Rhine and the young maiden Moselle.
