A banknote castle, a photo from Rheinland-Pfalz, West

Photographer's Note

There are two different ways to access Eltz Castle:

You either drive to the public parking lot near Wierschem and walk a steep road down into the valley of Eltzbach. This will provide you with the shown view.

You park your car at Moselkern in Moselle river valley and take the pains to hike 90 mins along Eltzbach. And suddenly a view appears before your eyes, which caused an English author to say: "Where was I? And when? Or at least: in which century?"

Eltz Castle was depicted on the German 500 DM banknotes from 1965, representing German chivalry. Taken on film with Canon A1, scan from paper print.
