Highlights Along The Route

Point of Interest

Koblenz. Samuel's great-great-great-grandfather emigrated from Koblenz to the Netherlands. This man's father was known as 'Der rote Peter', and owned a small castle somewhere on the Rhine. When we arrive in Koblenz, we will meet my mother, sister and brothers. Together we will try to find information about our ancestors in the archives of Koblenz, and hopefully we will be able to trace back the castle of Peter.

Point of Interest

Burg Elz: Germany's most beautiful medieval castle, never destroyed in war, owned by the Eltz family, for 33 generations in a row! Here in 2010, on my way to Istanbul, I was the guest of Count Karl von Eltz, a very kind and generous gentleman. This time I want to show the splendour of the castle to my little son Samuel, I am sure he will like it enormously.
