Eltz Castle is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River in Germany. It is still owned and lived in by a branch of the same family (the Eltz family) that lived there in the 12th century.
The main part of the castle consists of the family portions. At up to eight stories, these eight towers reach heights of between 30 and 40 metres. They are fortified with strong exterior walls. About 100 members of the owners' families lived in the over 100 rooms of the castle.
It's other claim to fame is that it is one of only two such castles on the West side of the Rhine that have never been conquered.

Two similar signs, one in Freiburg at the restaurant "Storchen", the other in Colmar. Despite the different countries and languages, there's a lot of joint history. Nonetheless, there are differences that immediately let you recognize which shot is from Germany and which from France.

The Externsteine is a distinctive sandstone rock formation located in the Teutoburg Forest, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The formation consists of several tall, narrow columns of rock which rise abruptly from the surrounding wooded hills.
The site draws about a million visitors a year, for a variety of reasons. Most are tourists who come to admire the beauty of the majestic rock formations that jut out from the flat, forested landscape.
But it is not only a geological curiosity, Externsteine is also reputed to be an ancient and sacred palaeolithic worshiping ground, and an astronomical calendar. Therefore, Externsteine became a mecca for Neo-pagans, Neo-Nazis and neo-pagan-Nazis.
The pagan ceremonies held at Externsteine take place three times a year: on the longest day of the year (June 21), the shortest day of the year (December 21) and on Walpurgis Night (“Night of the Witches”) on April 30.
