Nestled in the lush hills above the Moselle River, Eltz Castle is one of Germany’s most enchanting medieval fortresses. Surrounded by forest and untouched for over 850 years, it offers a rare glimpse into authentic medieval architecture and noble heritage. Guests can explore the castle grounds, courtyards, scenic surroundings and the castle’s interiors and treasury. Note: Comfortable shoes are recommended as access involves a short walk uphill from the parking area.

Stop in the delightful town of Cochem for a leisurely lunch (own cost) and exploration. Stroll along cobblestone streets lined with half-timbered houses, riverside cafés and boutiques. The town’s medieval charm and castle-topped skyline make it one of the highlights of the Moselle Valley.

Marvel at the Moselle Valley Bridge, an engineering masterpiece spanning high above the river. From the viewpoint, enjoy sweeping panoramas of the Moselle’s winding curves, vineyards and nearby villages - a perfect spot for memorable photos.

Visit the iconic Deutsches Eck (German Corner), where the Moselle and Rhine rivers meet. Admire the grand equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I and enjoy panoramic views of the confluence - one of the most photographed spots in Koblenz.

Take a relaxing stroll through Koblenz’s charming Old Town, filled with cafés, boutiques, and historic squares. Enjoy a leisurely coffee break or explore local shops before the return drive to Frankfurt. Note: Most cafés accept cards, but carrying small cash can be convenient.
