点评:We were staying just outside Cologne and our daughter was very keen to visit a 'German Castle.
There were a few in the area coming up with that description but non more impressive or unique than Eltz. It's amazing it's almost 1000 years old and essentially built a top of rock.
We got a family ticket which included a tour which was a reasonable €34 for 2 adults and 1 child. There were English tours avallable but obviously not as frequent as the German ones and so we just tagged along on one of those and used the paper guide which explained what was in the rooms we visited. A tour is the only way you can see Eltz, there isn't a self guided option and you only get to see a relatively small part of the complex. It was however worth it.
If you have mobility issues you will struggle as there are very narrow walk ways and staircases. From the car park you can either go right and enjoy a steady trail through the forest or head left down the paved road where there is also a minibus that will take you up/ down the steep hill to the entrance (€2 pp).
There is a onsite cafe and gift shop too but only after you have paid the entrance fee.
翻译:我们住在科隆郊外,女儿非常渴望参观“德国城堡”。
附近有几座城堡都符合这个描述,但没有哪座比埃尔茨城堡更令人印象深刻或更独特。它拥有近1000年的历史,而且基本上是建在岩石顶部的,真是令人惊叹。
我们买了一张家庭套票,包含一次导览,价格合理,2名成人和1名儿童34欧元。虽然有英语导览团,但显然不如德语导览团频繁,所以我们就跟着其中一个,用了纸质指南,上面解释了我们参观的房间。导览是游览埃尔茨城堡的唯一方式,没有自助游,而且只能看到城堡建筑群中相对较小的一部分。不过,这趟旅程还是值得的。
如果你行动不便,会比较吃力,因为那里的人行道和楼梯非常狭窄。从停车场出发,您可以右转,沿着平坦的森林小径前行,或者左转,沿着铺好的道路前行,那里有一辆小巴可以载您上下陡峭的山坡到达入口(每人 2 欧元)。
现场也有咖啡馆和礼品店,但只有在您支付入场费后才能进入。
