Germany Gate of Eltz Castle, Wierschem
Eltz Castle is one of the most famous castles in Germany for a good reason. The beautiful architecture lies within a valley, surrounded by woods and a river you can walk down to. The mood during foggy mornings is just unbelievably good, so this is something you really shouldn't miss, especially during autumn when the trees are colourful and there is a higher chance for fog.
Also, try to capture the milky way in the summer. It´s worth a try.
Important notes: This castle is privately owned and therefore please be respectful while being there, especially outside the opening times because there are people who live there. Photos or videos are not available for commercial usage and the owner usually denies all requests.

Photography Tips
Use the leading lines of the ground towards the castle with a very low focal distance. Especially the stones on the left part of the way are pointing to the front door as well as the walls. Also, be aware of the leading line in the middle.
If you want a very big castle you can also use the stairs nearby to get even closer to the ground or just use the wall in your frame.
