Burg Eltz

Scott, Ian, and Asyl visited the great Castle called Burg Eltz today (second time for Scott). This castle has been left intact for 700 years and is furnished throughout as it was 500 years ago. It's been in the Eltz family for 820 years. Eltz means "stream." The first Burg on the Eltz (castle on the stream) appeared in the 12th century to protect a trade route. By 1472, the castle looked like it does today. Absolutely beautiful!!
