About this photo: I just returned from a trip to Europe as I was in Belgium for about 2 weeks to visit my mom who turned 80. My friend came with me as my hubby and daughter couldn’t join me this time. We flew into Amsterdam where we stayed for one night. After that we headed for Belgium and stayed with my mom. We did manage to visit some cities/towns in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France.
This photo was taken at Burg Eltz in Wierschem,Germany. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I wanted to visit this castle and saw photos of this place with people walking up to the castle before I went on my trip. I really wanted a photo like that for myself. So, when we found the castle and had it practically to ourselves, I managed to get in a few shots with my tripod and this was my favourite one of the bunch. I was just in awe when I saw this beautiful place! If you ever visit, go in the winter as there is hardly anyone there. The castle is closed for visitors though, it opens to the public from the spring until fall.

Some information about Burg Eltz (Eltz Castle): Burg Eltz is a beautiful Medieval castle in Germany that has remained unscathed by wars. This castle has been occupied the same family for 33 generations, more than 850 years. It still has many of the original furnishings from 8th centuries ago. Construction of this castle was between the 11th-13th century, with numerous additions made throughout the years. Restoration of the castle began somewhere in the 19th century and more restoration work took place in 2009-2012. So, today the castle is in pristine condition for all of us to enjoy!
The castle is only open from April until November for visits inside the castle itself, there is a restaurant, gift shop, guided tours and more. But you are free to visit the castle site any time of the year and can walk up right to the castle doors. From the parking lot there is 1.3km gradual trail that takes you to the castle or you can use the shorter but steeper shuttle bus route (paved road, and only road accessible for strollers).
