"Burg Eltz" is in the same family for more than 800 years and she survived all wars unscathed. Every generation has something to build. Middle Ages, Gohtik, Baroque, to find everything. That's why the castle is so neat. And if she looks familiar? She was over 30 years on the back of the 500 DM bill She is probably the model template for every knight movie
Pretty close to this castle, on the Moselle river, there's a town called Trier. It's Germany's oldest town, and used to be a Roman capital. Yes, you've heard that right. Roman Emperors actually had their main seat there, and in ancient times, it had the nickname "Second Rome". The town itself is ancient, and there's a lot of Roman architecture still present there today. The region is also pretty famous for its white wine, and lots of local wineries offer taste tests. Trier is beautiful, and there's lots to do and lots to see. If you're ever in the region again, you should definitely check it out!
Wow that's awesome! Thanks for the info! I'm planning to travel to the Mosel region next year and will definitely stop by Trier now that I know of its history
Trier is wonderful. Actually the whole of the Moselle valley is such a great place to visit that we visited twice. Burg Eltz is well worth the entry fee. We stayed in a self catering property in Enkirch called Weigut Stiftshof just outside Traben Trabach. Enkirch is a lovely medieval village. Full of character. The first year we visited we were there for the Traben Trabach wine fest. Great experience, including live music. The second year we experienced our host’s own wine fest, as he had his own vineyard (excellent wines too). He’d also organised live music.
Most german Castles where re-build (or new build) in 18th, 19th century (german romantic time period) Burg Eltz is one of the few castles that is really old (12th century) and only restaurated (with respect to the existing architecture in the 19th century). It was never captured even there was a lot of conflicts in this area. It's owned since 800 years by members of the same family and was on the back side of the 500DM note de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Eltz#/media/File:500_DM_Serie3_Rueckseite.jpg
most of those arent real or authentic castles, they didnt had any defensive purpose. You can easily tell from the lack of a real gatehouse with murder-holes, no outer ward, no crenelations and machicolations. The tiny towers also hadnt any purpose other than for the looks of it.
You guys MUST visit Rothenburg if it's not already on the agenda! It is the perfect fairytail town. It's where they filmed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Don't miss it! PS it's a fortified town on a hill so it's almost like a massive castle
Ive been there last summer. Amazing!! I life close by the german border in the netherlands, and my goal is to visit as much german castles as possible.
@@timgoorman You should visit Burg Nideggen, which is quite near to the Netherlands. It was unfortunately partly destoryed in the 16th century during a fight between the german emporer and the duke of Jülich with these new weapons - canons. But still impressive and the small town of Nideggen has still town gates in pretty good condition and nice old town. The duke of Jülich build after that a new Zitadelle and town fortification in Jülich - the first north of the alpes constructed for canons in mind with bastions. Unfortunately Jülich was very destroyed after WW2 - but the fortifications are still standing strong - which were the aim of the allied air bombings. Also the giant bridge head added to the fortifications by the french under Napoleon is in quite good condition.
Check out the "Wartburg" in Eisenach and the "Burg Hohenzollern" in Bisingen...Those are my favourites. But you are right there are many castles and strongholds in Germany so I myself have to vistit many more of them^^
Visited this castle summer 2016 and have to agree, it’s a fantastic place to visit. You did the right thing getting there early, as it gets very busy later in the day.
Burg Eltz actually got build in 800. It was planned as a manor at first and at ~1100 it was already a castle and many generations lived there. I think there were more then 35 generations living there
Burg Hohenzollern is definitly a must. Very beautiful. You will definitly be not alone. Because it is the Homecastle of the last dynasty of german emperor. And it is as beautiful as Castle Eltz in a same beautiful landscape but way bigger.
I love medieval castles, but I only love ones that look exactly as they did in the medieval times when it was built, and this one shows you exactly how the castle looked back in the time when knights and kings and queens and medieval wars were going on
Also, in Spring and early summer wasps are really helpful as they kill a lot of pests that want to eat growing veggies. They only become a pest when they are ‘pensioned off’ from their colony at the end of their season.
This seems to be such a charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Georgeous castles! Really looking forward to your upcoming UK vids. I went to Wales for the first time this summer and loved it. Especially the little fishing town of Tenby and walking along the Pembrokeshire coastal path - stunning views! Highly recommend it you're still in the region.
Whenever you come back to The Netherlands, I recommend visiting "De Haar" castle near Utrecht, "Muiderslot" castle near Amsterdam, royal palace "Het Loo" near Apeldoorn and "Schaloen" castle near Maastricht.
Awesome video!! Just discovered your youtube channel and i've been binge watching your videos! So glad i found your vlogs and will definately continue following your adventures!
On the way up to Scotland, you should call in at Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland in a spectacular location on the beach. Also in Northumberland, Alnwick Castle where some of Harry Potter was filmed. Both castles have a very turbulent history during the wars between Scotland and England. When in Scotland you should check out sterling Castle, another spectacular location with links to Robert the Bruce and William Wallace (Braveheart), also Edinburgh Castle in the Capital.
I have been to Hohenzollern, Neuschwanstein, Cochem, Schwerin, Heidelberg and Eltz Castles. Each has its own beauty. It also depends on one‘s personality. I personally love Eltz the most as it‘s the most cozy and relatable for me. It‘s still owned by the Eltz family as well.
I grew up in Moselkern! Used to drive to the castle by bike. You should have taken the way by foot through the forest to the castle, not by car. Its around 40 mins through the forest from Moselkern and a great hike!
Cochem on the river Mosel has got it´s Castle in the sky evenings whern it´s dark of course. You in the town looking up high on the hill you see a well illuminated castle in the sky.
11:08 I visited both castles at the same time as you did. Funny. But ringing up the stairs has been hard to go without filming, to do this with a glass of wine in hand seems to be crazy. Now I understand what you mean by "endless adventure".
Dunrobin castle in Scotland is absolutely breathtaking. They also have an amazing falconry show in the summer. I visited about 6 castles in Scotland and it was by far the best.
I did the tour at Burg Eltz just a few months before this video was posted (around May 2018) and found out this castle specifically is one of the ones that have the most original structure to it, alot of other castles in Germany were reconstructed after war times. The other castle we visited was Berg Rotteln, which is much much smaller closer to Basel Switzerland near where my Oma grew up!
The Moselle Valley is stunning. Cochem is beautiful and moving towards Koblenz and down the Rhine Valley through Boppard, St Goar, Rüdesheim. All amazing.
Did you know that if you swat at wasps they give off a scent that tells their mates that they’re being attacked and so more of them turn up? Love this video, we visited the Moselle valley and Eltz castle a few years back. Stayed in the village of Enkirch, just north of Traben Trabach, which has lots of medieval houses. It’s also a great area for walking, if you are into that. The Meselle valley is a big wine producing area, so lots of the towns and villages have wine festivals over the summer. Wonderful! We liked it so much we visited twice.
Speaking of fairytales. Are you planning to do the ''Fairytale Route'' from Bremen to Frankfurt? Many incredibly gorgeous towns with those half-timbered houses along this route.
This is probably my favorite vlog entry of yours yet. I love the German Medieval castles. Burg Eltz is at the top of my places to visit, along with Burg Abenberg, near Nuremberg. Love your channel!
Oh what beautiful castles! I love watching you guys explore them and show us all around. The bees were a great comical addition, if not slightly terrorizing for you two jajaja. Well done, show us more!!
Those were not bees but wasps. We have a wasp plague in Germany this year. This is caused by the last too warm winter where lots of them have survived and the hot summer we have this year.
I think this is what they call a Oubliette, it was a dungeon where there was only access through the top. Sometimes they just threw them down there and covered up the top. It looked like real bones. I have seen other videos before that showed bones at the bottom of these things. They are all over Europe. Wish you had a meet up when you were in cologne. I would of been there.
I was going to say the same, I'm not convinced those bones are real though, its had people down there to install lights at the least, and id hope any real bones were removed.
Christian Buczko I think they are probably fake too, but I did see one that was real in England. They were excavating and found it in real time and shined a light down a deep hole and there were bones. Pretty interesting
The one i saw was in France, they dropped a camera down a hole to see if it was, and found a skull looking at them, the castle owners had never looked down, and it was only an old legend that's what it was. I've not seen one from England excavated though but it wouldn't surprise me. Things got pretty nasty quickly if you upset the lord of a castle back in medieval times.

Too bad we can't all jump on space ships and head to other galaxies and planets so Eric and Alison can have earth ALL TO THEMSELVES!!!!
Does Eltz castle hosts weddings?

I simply love castles and cute, stone villages of Europe! I can not wait explore that continent for the next few years!
u will enjoy it ^^
Bamburgh castle is great I am from England there is great castles here inhabited and ruined

Wartburg Castle is one that we love to visit when we are in Germany!
That 1st castle was like a castle in a fairytale. I kept saying wow...sooo beautiful
Red dress and nice hat all are great for nice photos with the beautiful castle
The German castle looks so old but it's amazing, reminds this in some of the movies.

As soon as I saw the castle I know this will be an exceptional vlog

loving these castles:) :) :)
Me too I just wish I had somebody like that to travel with
I think Neuschwanstein is the most impressive castle in Germany. Didn't see many of Germany but I fell in love instantly.
Andrei Pisarciuc The Name is Neuschwanstein !🤥
You should visit the castle in Schwerin. It is stunning as well and has beautiful gardens around and is build on an island in the middle of a lake
I visited it some years back. Absolutely beautiful.
No lie, but our country is one of the most beautiful in the world! ;)
If you are still in the area, I highly recommend Rheinstein Castle along the Rhine river. It's amazing!
Uhhhh I am dying. Eltz castle looks amazing loved the shot to show it at first. You guys are always finding the best spots.
Check out the "Wartburg" in Eisenach and the "Burg Hohenzollern" in Bisingen...Those are my favourites. But you are right there are many castles and strongholds in Germany so I myself have to vistit many more of them^^
Yes!! Hohenzollern is beautiful!! I visited this past July. I also think everything in Germany is beautiful ❤️
Yes, but those were built/rebuilt in the romantic period. Burg Eltz is legit
You should try the castle in Schwerin. It's just stunning, also with the lake and gardens around it
@@debbiealexander5375 👍👍
I‘m so proud, my country has the most beautiful castles!😘🇩🇪❤️
Yes! You are so fortunate to live there, i want go but i'm so broke
I love the details of the castle is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing guys. Enjoy traveling and keep safe. 😍👍🏽👏🏽
The Castle HOHENZOLLERN is pretty neat
In my opinion you should visit the castle of Hohenzollern in Baden-Württemberg.
And while you're at it, go see Burg Liechtenstein near Reutlingen. Small but cute
Those 2 castles were my favorite.
Hohenzollern.... Wilhelm 1 ....3 .... I prefer Burgund and Chur-Cölln....
It's kind of like Sleeping Beauty's castle from the outside. Very majestic!
👍👍
You saved the wine 👏👏
Nice. My father was born in a nearby village, so I visited Eltz and Thurant several times. Great spots.
The castle in wernigerode is beautiful! And the town makes it even more gorgeous!
LOVE that you had the glass of wine the whole way up the stairs!
wow! that's amazing! will surely visit Burg Eltz soon. Thanks for the video.
My favourite castle is the " Burg Rheinstein" on the Rhine river. Easily reached by car from the Frankfurt area in under an hour
Visited this castle summer 2016 and have to agree, it’s a fantastic place to visit. You did the right thing getting there early, as it gets very busy later in the day.
That was the most favorite caste of Rick Steve in all of Europe,precisely the Burg Eltz Castle....
Greetings from the Philippines❤❤
Burg Eltz actually got build in 800. It was planned as a manor at first and at ~1100 it was already a castle and many generations lived there. I think there were more then 35 generations living there
The castles you showed us in Germany are spectacular!🤴👸
👍👍
The bee saga is making me laugh so hard! They really love you guys!
I'm hoping to add this castle to our little road trip, glad you guys did a video!
The bee attack wasn´t included in the price , it´s for free 😁🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
check out Schloss Hohenzollern, Schaumburg, and Neu Schwanstein ... :)
That is a beautiful castle! I really enjoy your vlogs! I think you are both bee magnets!
This is the most beautiful castle in whole World!
love those Castles, good video, can't wait to visit sometimes ♥
Great shots of the castle. I'm amazed you've yet to be stung by bees!
i think the bees are attracted to the colors you wear :D
Burg Hohenzollern is definitly a must. Very beautiful. You will definitly be not alone. Because it is the Homecastle of the last dynasty of german emperor. And it is as beautiful as Castle Eltz in a same beautiful landscape but way bigger.

Zuckerbergschloss (sugarhillcastel) in kappelrodeck. Beautiful and amazing coffee and cake and icecream
The castles are cool, but the redhead in the red dress is amazing!
Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing . 👍⭐🙏
Thank you for another great video. The castle is totally amazing. Always looking forward to the next. :)
👍👍
Paradise...
Awesome. Liked from Alaska USA
Whenever you come back to The Netherlands, I recommend visiting "De Haar" castle near Utrecht, "Muiderslot" castle near Amsterdam, royal palace "Het Loo" near Apeldoorn and "Schaloen" castle near Maastricht.
Those castles are amazing ! And i love how all the bees are attacking you guys , its so funny :D
We always have a problem with bees / wasps when we go to Europe for some reason 😂🐝 They just love us over here!
you must go to Burg Hohenzollern and Neu Schwanstein.(Füssen).
The walk from Moselkern to the castle through the wood and along a brook is absolutely marvellous.
Awesome video!! Just discovered your youtube channel and i've been binge watching your videos! So glad i found your vlogs and will definately continue following your adventures!
Awesome!! Getting up early is hard but the payoff is always worth it!

Leave the bees alone and they will leave you alone, I think. Great video, thanks Explorers!

Disney must be so jealous, JUST LIKE ME!!!!! Just kidding, what an astonishing place
Another great video!

Guys, try Neuschwanstein Castle , outside of Munich. It is the one that inspired the Disney Castle! And it is absolutely breath taking

I think the most beautiful is schwerin castle.
And don't forget potsdam's gardens.
You should come to Heidelberg 🙌🏾
We lived there in 2018 and had horrible bee issues and oppressive heat, but still loved it!! We lived near Regensburg, you would like it there too!😎
i went there years ago. i walked the path from Moselkern to the castle it was impressive to say the least.
id say one of my favorite castles in germany is "Schloß Burg an der Wupper"
"Killa bees"- Holywood influece xD
Cool you're coming back to England, we'll put the kettle on.
great job with the filming and the drone footage.
Love to see properly old castles... :)
Wasps (not bees) are a menace...
@@tigercat418 They never used to worry about alleged pests in the past, how time's have changed!
allison look very elegant in this vlog

Bees are becoming a theme.
One of my favorite castles of all time
Visited this castle Sept 2019 - Great visit. For those who like castles, this is a must-see. Nice restaurant as well.
Those were not bees but wasps. We have a wasp plague in Germany this year. This is caused by the last too warm winter where lots of them have survived and the hot summer we have this year.
Totally looks like a magical wonderland 🤩
You guys get attacked by bees heaps! They must love you! 🐝
Loving the hat Allison! 👒Suits you well. 😁
I think this is what they call a Oubliette, it was a dungeon where there was only access through the top. Sometimes they just threw them down there and covered up the top. It looked like real bones. I have seen other videos before that showed bones at the bottom of these things. They are all over Europe. Wish you had a meet up when you were in cologne. I would of been there.

Christian Buczko I think they are probably fake too, but I did see one that was real in England. They were excavating and found it in real time and shined a light down a deep hole and there were bones. Pretty interesting
The one i saw was in France, they dropped a camera down a hole to see if it was, and found a skull looking at them, the castle owners had never looked down, and it was only an old legend that's what it was. I've not seen one from England excavated though but it wouldn't surprise me. Things got pretty nasty quickly if you upset the lord of a castle back in medieval times.
@@christianbuczko1481 you could be correct in it being France. It was a guy who is usually a metal detector hunter of relics
Excuse me, this is the internet - you can't discuss things like adults here. You have to scream and rant and make it unpleasant for everyone by being dogmatic and using CAPITALS to shout.
Tha said - interesting observations.
The only one I know is the Burg Monschau, in the German part of the Ardennes Forest near the border with Belgium.
Charming video.
I've been to Neuchwanstein but I think this is cooler because it's much older. I really want to go see it in person..
I like the couple more than the video, you guys ♥️. And yes, awesome video !!!!
Burg Eltz is still owned bye the family who build it 800 years ago, and has never been conquered by force!
Nobody (ie the French) could ever find it.
