      It’s west of Cologne & Bonn, close to the Belgium border. Isn’t it like a fairytale?

      Isn’t it a wonderful place to visit? I just loved it and the graciousness of the Count and his staff.

  13. Sand Spring Chesapeakes – Cambria, WI – My husband and I have six "furry" children Gambler, Glory, Guilty, Slammer, Gertie and one cat Bones and two furangel's Norman and Nellie. We breed Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. We are both avid hunters. We also enjoy competing with our dogs in hunt tests and field trials. That is where you can find us during the trial months which are April-September. When were not at a trial we are busy training our dogs. We go snow goose hunting in Canada each year and do all the hunting that Wisconsin offers.

  14. John W. Howell – South Texas Gulf Coast – I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

    Beautiful castle. It doesn’t look huge though. I’ll bet it was a lovely stay.

          It’s a great place to visit for many reasons. They even offer a course called ‘Ritterschule’ (Knights’ School) – where you learn how to put on armor and see if you have what it takes to be a knight.

      1. Thanks for the clarification. Once I saw your answer to easyweimeraner, I realized that I had passed that castle quite a few times on bicycle tours. I only didn’t recognize that view as I’ve never done more than hust peek inside through the gate.

      You can stay in one of the rooms for about the same rate as nearby hotels. It’s one of the loveliest moated castles in all of Germany.
