About this school trip

Burg Eltz lies hidden in the Eltzer Wald as if from a storybook, between the Eifel, the Moselle and the Rhine. The castle has been home to the same family for nine centuries, which makes it an exceptionally well-preserved example of a medieval castle. Here, the world of knights and nobles comes to life for pupils.

On the guided castle tour (Burgführung), pupils discover the historic rooms; please note that photography is not allowed inside. There is also an important treasury to see. From the car park you walk to the castle, either along the access road with its viewpoint or via the footpath with the famous '500-DM-Blick', the view once printed on the old 500 Deutschmark note. So make sure everyone wears sturdy shoes.

We are happy to take care of transport to Burg Eltz for you and your pupils. With our comfortable coach and an experienced driver, you travel safely and in a relaxed way to this beautiful corner of Germany.
