I went to Germany excited to castle jump and expected my dream castle visit to Neuschwanstein to be my favorite, but I was wrong. Eltz Castle blew me away. It is my absolute favorite castle. It does not feel like a museum inside, it is very homey. I could totally live there! There are two ways to get there; by car of course or by train and hike. We took the train from Koblenz to Mozelkern. Mozelkern is such a small town, with one restaurant! From the end of the road you begin the hike along the Eltz rive no less. Winding trails, up and down yet not rigorous take you to the side of the castle where you will have to take 124 steps (if I remember correctly) up the cliff wall. It was an amazing day. It was our first full day in Germany, and this day sparked the fire that became my passion for travel. I want everyone to visit Germany, to feel confident navigating unknown paths in foreign locations! I absolutely find joy in planning customized itineraries for people to experience new destinations.
