September 21, 2007 To get to Burg Eltz, we  walked from the train station through a small town called Moselkern.  Eventually, we found ourselves on a hiking path in the forest.  About 1 hour and 10 minutes later we arrived at the castle. The views through the hike were breathtaking. We were lucky enough to see this area during the season change.  This was probably our favorite part of the whole trip!
