The first time I went to Germany was in 2001 with my parents and sisters. We were obsessed with seeing castles and that trip did not disappoint! In my opinion, the best castles are in the Mosel and Rhine River Valleys, so when we went to Germany in April, we spent two days exploring the area. My favorite is Burg Eltz, a medieval castle that’s been in the same family for over eight centuries. It's situated in a forest by a small river and you have to walk down a steep hill to get to the castle gates. Burg Eltz is furnished as it would have been 500 years ago and during the guided tour you see where the nobles slept, where they relaxed, where they dined and where their servants cooked. During our two-day castle bonanza, we also saw Rheinfels Castle and took a cruise on the Rhine River. I definitely recommend visiting this region of Germany!
