Duration: 11 h
Firstly we will visit to Burresheim castle, is located at northwest of Mayen on a rock spur. It belongs to the local church Sankt Johann. Together with Burg Eltz and the castle Lissingen, it is one of the few castles in the Eifel that were never conquered or devastated and were able to survive unscathed the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries as well as the social upheavals of the French Revolution. The castle consists of buildings constructed between the twelfth and the seventeenth century. Almost all of it is original, including the twelfth century keep, which is the oldest part. Built in the 12th century, Bürresheim was first mentioned in 1157 with its former owners, the noble Eberhard and Mettfried “de Burgenesem”. Next we will visit to the Imperial Castle in Cochem which history dating back to 1000 AD and it is more than just a castle it also local legend claims to be the "Sleeping Beauty" castle. The old walls, which throne majestically over the Mosel River valley, are an invitation for every history and culture enthusiast to enjoy a beautiful afternoon in one the highest hill castles on the Mosel river.  The medieval castle, which was heavily damaged while in the possession of the electoral princes of Trier during a war of succession, was bought and lovingly restored in the neo-gothic style associated with German castle romanticism in the 19th century by the Counselor of Commerce Louis Ravené. You will be delighted by the impressive interiors of rooms such as the Knight’s Hall, the Dining Hall, the Trophy Room and the Bower. Next we will visit to the Eltz Castle is a masterpiece frozen in time. It was attacked only once but never taken, leaving it intact for visitors today. The castle began as a deed of donation in 1157 by Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa with Rudolf von Eltz acting as a witness. It lay in a strategic location astride the Roman trade route from the Moselle Valley and the Eifel region and was created with the cooperation of three local lords from the historical families of Kempenich, Rubenach, and Rodendorf.  In 1815 the separate lives of the castle were finally united under the House of the Golden Lion who had outlived their fellow castle owners. This family has resided in the castle since the 12th century for an impressive 33 generations. The castle is eight floors with eight turreted towers (at heights of 30 and 40 meters) and around 100 rooms. The oldest part of the castle, still visible today, is the Romanesque keep, Platt-Eltz, as well as four stories of former Romanesque pallas (living quarters). The design was unusual in that almost half the rooms have fireplaces so every room could be heated - quite a luxury at the time. The castle also features the oldest painted chimney in Germany. Besides authentic medieval decor, Eltz Castle features a museum with an impressive collection of original furniture and artwork. The Knights Hall has armor dating back to the 16th century, and the original treasure. After we return to Frankfurt.
