- If there is one castle in Germany that can rival the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle, it’s Burg Eltz. In this video, we drive to the famous and ridiculously stunning castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River. Luckily, and to our surprise, we ended up experiencing the entire castle all to ourselves! Willa decided she wanted to dress up like a princess adding to the magic! :)

Our Story to Tell
I have no words for how cute Willa looks in that princess dress in front Burg Eltz 🥰.
❤️
OMG! I cried with emotion when I saw Willa in her Princess dress in front of the castle🥲🥰…so incredibly lovely👸…
Aww Kerstin. It’s a tough time right now. 💛 We are happy our video could make an impact. Willa is such a precious girl! ❤️
Yes! Oh wei.
I also like the fact that this castle is still owned and inhabited by the Eltz-family and that they are friendly enough to share it with the public. Of course they slso need the money for the castle obviously. I don't wanna know how expensive it is to own tis castle 🙈
Little Princess Willa 🥰
Another Cuteness Overflow. Thanks for making me happy. It is a sad time.
It really is. This is exactly the purpose we share our lives online… to bright light & happiness! 💛
Du siehst toll aus mit der Baskenmütze und Willa ist natürlich die hüscheste Prinzessin ever ❤️ Danke, dass ihr uns in der schweren Zeit auf andere Gedanken bringt. Die Welt ist so schön und das zeigt ihr uns immer in euren Videos... Passt alle auf euch auf. 🌸
You look so pretty with your Baskenmütze! And Willa in her Prinzessinenkleid 🥰
Aww thank you ❤️ your kindness means a lot!
@@OurStorytoTell 🤩😉
Little princess Willa in front of a fairy-tale castle. So cute!
A special moment for sure. ❤️
Great channel. My son was born when we lived in Germany, 32 years ago. My favorite little castle is Lichtenstein Castle. About 20km from Reutlingen. Great memories.
Wise words!
sometimes I just relax, sit down and listen to the birds. It helps a lot knowing that people like tenner and many other wonderful people, strong in mind and heart, are out there influencing what happens. I think bad stuff is happening but so many good people are inspiring us that the current crisis will actually make the world an even better place. There is strong inspiration going around because something has happened few to no one expected and massive parts of the world are standing together.
Love this comment. Slowing down really can put things into perspective! Hoping for brighter days for everyone soon! 💛
Great video! Burg ELTZ/Moselvalley and the nearby Burg MARKSBURG in BRAUBACH/Rheinvalley (ca. 45 km) are real juwels because they have never been destroyed or conquered. Therefore they are authentical, inside you can see how living in a castle through the ages was really like (not like the rebuild idealized castles of the 18 and 19 hundreds). It's worth coming back in the opening season to have a guided tour which really takes you mentally back into the middle ages. Especially at Burg ELTZ the guides explain where in our language a lot of our phrases/expressions/sayings are historically coming from. The noble owner family of Burg ELTZ is possessing the castle since 33 generations.
What a fun trip, mother daughter day trip. Loved it. Ahhhhh, and seeing Willa with her princess gown melted my heart. So, So cute. Thank you for bringing smile to my face.
It's been 30 years since I've visited, but I remember that the way to the castle is integral to the experience. One should not drive all the way! (I hope you too feel it was worth it, even with the added "exercise"). Burg Eltz was laid under siege several times in its long history but never conquered, never destroyed. Location is everything! I remember the inside being narrow and quite dark. So the whole experience is like travelling back in time.
at 3:39 u can even see the ruins of the siege castle (Burg Trutzeltz) that was built during a siege that lasted 6 years. It was used as a plattform for catapults and cannons.
Come and visit Burg Hohenzollern. The most beautiful fairytale castle in Germany. Not known as much as Schloß Neuschwanstein but so much more gorgeous!
Thanks for the suggestion! Really good to know! :)
Burg Eltz is one of my favourites, first time I was there was with my school class about ... cough, cough.... 40 years ago. Last time was about 10 years ago when they where renovationg it. It look's awesome in this valley. Too sad you couldn't see the inside and do the tourist tour.
Fun fact, back in the days before the Euro Burg Eltz was on the 500 DM note. ;)
prefer Eltz castle so much to Neuschwanstein. Not only is it almost 800 years older, it also looks much more unique and magical. Unfortunately it’s not „underrated“ anymore😅. During Spring and summertime it’s *filled* with tourists. And you don’t have to wear the cap, I‘m German and I personally think they’re so uncomfortable🙈.
Sweet Princes :)
Greetings from Colonia Köln Dom /Bonn Beethoven City
Burg Eltz is a must-see, especially for your adorable little princess. 😍
This is so adorable Willa is so cute, lovely video🥰🥰🥰🥰
Stunning View the castle is beautiful 🥰 aww willa in her Princess dress was gorgeous 🥰
So cute watching her. In front of the castle .
Princess Willa is THE cutest!
I'm happy that you and little Willa got out for this fun adventure. She was absolutely adorable in her little princess outfit. I'm sure the whole experience was very special for her and she will always remember it. I remember being kind of obsessed with castles when I was little. I believe a castle was the first drawing I ever did.
You're such a wonderful and adorable little family, bringing up a sweet young lady, encouraging her to both develop self esteem and self confidence from the beginning. As the early years of a person's life being the most important ones in regards of personality development, you're bringing up a proud, strong, and powerful woman. Willa will worship her parents forever, promised!
🥺🥺 okay make us cry! Thank you so much for the kindness. We are trying to be our best for her. ❤️ She is amazing!
I'm so happy for having you in GER! Mein Englisch ist nicht perfekt, aber ich hoffe, dass Ihr mich versteht.(My English is far away from being perfect but hopefully, you're getting my point)
Willa ist wirklich eine Prinzessin ,und später wird sie ihren Prinz treffen,aber das hat noch Zeit! 🤣🤣Diese Burg ist eine der schönsten in Deutschland überhaupt,noch schöner ist sie anzusehen wenn alles grün ist ,leider dann aber auch sehr voll mit Leuten ! Liebe Grüße
Thanks for the video...i am 49 years old and it was 3 years ago I saw neuschwanstein the first time....so now I have to say visiting Burg ELz is duty till end of 2022
Love the castle! And I loved seeing Willa enjoying it. A girls' day out is so special. Oh and I did 2 kids with a little red wagon...
You should visit it inside the next time. It‘s family owned for more than 30 generations and it‘s fantastic to see all that historical stuff
living 5km from Burg Eltz I've got to say you came at the right time. In summer this place is so over run. Glad to see both of you had fun. Keep having a great time ;)
Oh booya! Love to hear the timing was good! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Burg Eltz is my favourite castle. It sits so beautiful in the valley surrounded by the Eltzbach (the Eltz brook). It isn't a very large castle but it's everything you would imagine a castle to be.
Wunderbar 🎉
OMG - how adorable 😍😍😍
Check out Hohenzollern Castle too! It’s beautiful.
Cuteness overload 🤩
Risa, you definitely looked European ... thumbs up from me. And Willa as a princess...adorable!
I love to see your adventures, not only in Germany but in whole Europe.
Great video. I think we all have to thank you 3 that you don't stay in that Bavarian cliche bubble like so many others but show that Germany is more than lederhosen and Oktoberfest.
Something I always have to think about when I see young people like you enjoying this extraordinary freedom of our time is how history has taught us so many things that must be remembered. Despite its tendency to repeat itself, I think there are so many signs that times can change. And for me, the most beautiful, and perhaps most impressive symbol of this in its simplicity is that you can jump into the streetcar at Strasbourg cathedral and take a ride across the Rhine to the main station of Kehl. A distance that not so long ago was soaked with the blood of young men who were ordered to kill each other.
If you ever have the chance to take that ride, I absolutely recommend it because it symbolizes modern Europe like few other things, and it is what people like the dictator from the Red Square hate like nothing else. Freedom and peace, not war and force. A unity that cannot be achieved at gun-point but only by working together...
Take care!
I definitely had a laugh... :D And Willa is adorable in her cute dress...
Two wonderful damsels on their way to Burg Eltz. 👍👍 😁 But let's not fool ourselves - sorry Risa - the sweeter damsel is Willa. 😊 Beautiful video of the two of you. Very brave to take on all that effort without Tanner. You must have needed a great rest at home. 😂😂 🙋♂️
No worries, we completely agree! 😉😊 And yes we did!
Your daughter is adorable 🥰🤗👍♥️
Thanks for your workout. As far as I know 2/3 is open for public but have never been there. During season its very crowded but I think you have enjoyed every little architectual piece of this castle from outside. Many thanks for princess von RisTan showing us her fantastic cloth. So cute, so pretty. Wonder you did such 2 hrs drive(guess you already used to drive here in Germany) and yes, the mosel valley is pretty with lots of interesting villages which held a lot of deflections while driving. If some of relatives like to drink wine, best place to take some home cheaper and directly from a winemaker for their visit.
Thanks so much for your comment! Stay tuned for our next video because we take it to the Mosel Valley 😉 It was an expected trip but a fun one!
Wow...😍❤🥰🥰🥰
your little daugther in her princess dress in front of the castle: just amazing, sweet and wonderful 👍
Ich mag Euer Format sehr! :D It's interesting to watch You guys exploring our supermarkets and so many places. All the best from "Buschka discovers Germany" based in Wiesbaden!
I'm just have been on Falkenberg castle near Weiden. You can rent rooms there as well or only visit the museum or have a guided tour. It is somewhat tiny but very well renovated.
Awesome great Vid^^. It seems short but i know you guys put a lot of work in it. Pls never try to be the way you might think we want you to be. Most of europe is very open minded and will always support you the way you want to be^^.You dont have to appolgize for giving your Girl a princess costume. She loves it, so we love it cause the smile of a child is priceless.
The little princess will find her prince one day and then they will both live in Eltz Castle!
Now you are quite nearby where I am living. I live in the Westerwald (low mountain range in the northern part of Rhineland-Palatinate). Come back and visit our gorgeous federal state in summer or fall!
It was just tooooooo cute......!
Very nice
Willa is the perfect castle princess
When we were children we loved to visit the castles (Neuschwanstein, Hohenzollern, Lichtenstein (Württemberg) etc.) and to build them as models from paper sheets. The sheets had all the windows, walls and other details printed. With scissors and glue we spent happy hours to stick the parts together and played with the finished models. If you like that look up for "Papiermodellbau Burg".
What a special memory!! Love that!
You must see Schloss Lichtenstein, Honau.
Thanks for the tip! Going to add that to our list 😊
There are several other castles that are close second to Burg Eltz (I don't count Neuschwanstein, as this is just some reinforced concrete structure covered by plaster and a thin layer of natural stones): Moritzburg (of Aschenbrödel fame), Rheinpfalz Kaup, Wartburg, Königstein Fortress, Weesenstein...
Don't worry, the hat looks cute on you, too :)
Yes, that`s true. Looks french ;-)
Aww thanks! 😊
You are wunderbar
looool just been there last saturday
No way! Was it empty for you too? 😊
@@OurStorytoTell i´ve seen only 4 cars and a camper at the parking lot and only 3 people on the whole trail , i assume people stayed away because the castle was closed
Wait until Ella discovers Frozen 😄.
For three years we have been wanting to go to Burg Eltz, but first my car constantly had problems, then came Covid and the lockdowns. We’ll get there one day, lol.
Thanks for this lovely video.
Oh we have thought about that! 😂 Im sure she will love it! What troubles you’ve had getting there. Hopefully soon 😊
@@OurStorytoTell My great-nieces are huge fans of Frozen, they dress up as Elsa.
Thanks, I too hope we’ll be able to get there soon ☺️
Funny, the Last time I was at Burg Eltz was with my foreign Exchange Student from California 25 years ago . He wanted to see a „Ritterburg“.
Hi im from Indonesia 🇮🇩 👋🏻
I like your Vlog
Hi 👋👋 We LOVE indonesia! What part are you from?
Nice hat!
Hey thanks! 😊
I hope you will come to Schwaben in the next weeks (Stuttgart, Remstal, Castle Hohenzollern, Rottenburg...) ;-)
You will have to check out our videos from Rottenburg! We have went twice because we absolutely love it! Here’s the first one: ua-cam.com/video/xYI2nBjGYuo/v-deo.html. Here’s the second one: ua-cam.com/video/WuKPgieUBOc/v-deo.html
But yes we need to explore more of the area :)
It seems to me that you have not yet ventured into eastern Germany. Come to Dresden, for example. Not only the city is beautiful, but also the surroundings are very diverse and worth seeing. You will love it. Take a trip to Saxon Switzerland, for example. There is the Elbsandsteingebirge, you can hike very well. But do not forget sturdy shoes!
We had plans to visit the national park last October but they fell through unfortunately! We made it to the Harz Mountains, but will definitely make a trip to Dresden. 😊
I'm looking forward to your report!
Try my hometown, Duesseldorf, there's a pink and white rococo castle built for Napoleon. It's in Benrath🏰
Thanks for the tip! 😊
Always, welcome😉
Two hour drive? Have you been at Ramstain Air Base? Drop me a note when you come to Ramstein / Kaiserslautern. I am local and can give you some tips for places to visit.
You should come back to the Mosel and middle Rhine Valley in spring, summer or early fall. It is really beautiful there.
Neuschwanstein is not a castle. It is 19th century mansion / palace build to look like a castle.
Yes we were!! Next time we go we will have to reach out! We took advantage of the thermal pools there and really enjoyed it 😊
I would have loved to have seen Tanner's face and to have heard his commentary when he saw the footage of the little princess at the castle....
It was as good as you can imagine. ❤️😍
meine Oma hat so eine Mütze getragen, die war Jahrgang 1923. So erneuert sich die Geschichte!
Aaaawwww, that tiny little huffed 'Uh-huh' by Willa at 3:26... my heart, melting... ❤❤
She was still a bit sleepy, with that slightly dreamy, far-away look. Precious little princess.
All that princess thing seems to be such a favorite of many girls at a certain age, even those that were raised with no preconceptions of certain 'stereotypical gender roles'. It just seems to resonate with (at least) a fairly large part of the female population. I don't know if it is a subconscious 'indoctrination' or if it just somehow 'feels right'. Nope, I don't blame you for indulging her. If she likes it, let her.
I think you should take a trip to "Point Alpha" in Geisa. It was one of the most important observation posts of the U.S. Armed Forces in Europe and one of the hottest spots in the Cold War.
Thanks for the suggestion!
It‘s sad that you feel that you have to defend Willa‘s princess phase!
Very rare that there are no people. Really! Last time i was there, the bridge was full of people doing selfies.
The whole forest around Burg Eltz is private property, but the owner allows to walk through. That's important to know, because all videos and photos made of Burg Eltz mustn't be published for commercial purposes. That's forbidden in Germany.
BTW: Nice content.
That is really great to know. So cool the owners allow people to walk through them. We feel extra lucky we were there without the crowds 😊
@@OurStorytoTell Let me know, if you plan to visit Cologne... 🙂
Your little, ,,princess,, is so cuute!!!!
Eltz Castle is still private. It belongs to the family that built it.
The nobles made it through clever contracts with the other princes that their castle was not attacked and destroyed. There have been many wars in Germany and the political situation has often changed.
Many other castles became state property and were destroyed. Others were destroyed because there was a war of succession.
And then you have to consider that such an old castle is expensive to maintain.
Super impressive!
It’s carneval season so everything is okay 😉
Who needs a gym when there's a castle ...
Haha AMEN to that 😅
... said the masons who built it. ;-)
I have taken a bunch of friends to this castle over the decades - and they all still hate me for that, though appreciating seeing it.
Guess why.
Lol.
Well, time to put some weights into the stroller and go for a run while Willa is at the Kita.
Haha apparently 😂 or just run with Willa in the stroller! We do that, but maybe I need to start incorporating some hills in!
@@OurStorytoTell Then you need an all terrain stroller. Those which joggers use. They also have better wheels with softer tires.
This castle was on the backside of the german-Mark ( 1000 Deutsche Mark ) Schein I hope they show it there...
which year? i only remember the one with the Limburger Dom on the back
@@uliwehner Burg Eltz was on the 500DM Note (Serie 3 - 1965 till 1992) the Limburger Dom was on the 100DM Note as you said.

Crikey, another video already! I can barely keep up. But most welcome. I'll watch your latest one later. Right now I'm catching up with the latest developments in the Ukraine. Some commentator this morning pointed out that Ukraine is just two hours away by plane, which means you in Germany are even closer. Are you worried about your personal safety?
Can it be you mixed Neuschwanstein into that video?
Yes we put some shots of Neuschwanstein to show that Burg Eltz is one of the top castles along with Neuschwanstein castle in Germany :)
an Italian prince would have opened his castle to the little princess
gehts eigentlich um die burg oder wollen sie sich nur selbst darstellen?
Dressing your child up looks really really weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She wanted to dress herself up, definitely wasn’t forced! 😊
