Burg Eltz

 We are driving to Burg Eltz.
We went to this Castle 13 years ago and loved it.
Elder and Sister Wing went with us.
Driving through the city just before getting to the Castle.




You have to park your car and then walk to the Castle.
There is a shuttle bus that will take you and the cost is 2 Euros.
We decided to walk because it was a beautiful day.



 This Castle is from the 1100s
and has been owned the entire time by the Eltz family.
The family still comes to the Castle as a summer home
and lives in an area in the back of the Castle.




 Inside the court yard and the walk to get inside the Castle.
There is a cost of 9 Euros p/p for the tour which was in English.


Inside the court yard while we were waiting for the tour to begin.



I took these two pictures in the first room,
until our tour guide said we couldn't take pictures.






We ate bratwursts and fries in the court yard,
then walked on a pathway back to our car.






We love the Castle
and it is a must for anyone visiting Germany to see it.

Elder Jacques had a phone call from a Mission President,
so he had to call the Missionary before we could start our journey home.


We had a great day!

  1. Wow!!! Don't really know what to say beyond that. What a beautiful place. I apparently married into the wrong family! Do you know what is in that field that Dad is standing in front of?
