Today in Germany we explored castles with my cousin, Heather!  So many amazing castles here to go see. We chose to go see Burgzoll and Burg Eltz.  These castles date back to the early 1100’s and 1400’s…so much history behind the walls!  The second castle we visited actually required a hike through the woods to even get to! It was so worth it! We made the 45 minute hike to the base of the valley where Burg Eltz sits and could not believe the view! 🙂 And of course this trip wouldn’t have been complete without a traditional German lunch of bratwurst and sauerkraut and potato soup!
