We really had no idea where the trail started. Ben googled it and found there were multiple way to get to it and it just depended on how long we wanted to hike. It was getting closer to nap time a lunch so Ben drove around the village to see which trail would be the best one to do.
We parked right off the street and walked up the steep cobble stoned path that was nice and slippery with the moss and morning dew. The wild woman loved it, she said she was "CLIM-ING"!!! haha
Dried up water fountain with the wild woman's favorite thing everywhere- acorns, or like she says "nnnnnnuuuuuts"!!
There were two churches on the stone street that lead up to the path. This is the little one that was tucked into the trees on the left hand side.
It had it's own little courtyard and walls all around.
1748
We made it up the steep street and hiked up the hill to the castle. We had to stop and see the other water fountain. The little plaque above the rusty pipe says "Kein trinkwasser" No drinking water.
This was the outer wall. There wasn't a plaque or anything the said what the built-in room was for so we're calling it the dungeon. It only seemed fitting.
The back of the burg and courtyard.
The side view
I loved this. A huge oak tree just growing up by the well in the center of the castle.
The room to the far right was the kitchen and where Aud is standing is the staircase down into the armory.
The inner courtyard
The well
Neat roots of the tree
Loved the window pane and the stone blocks that were the support for the second floor.
Fire place to the right and stove chimney to the left
The old staircase. You can still see the carvings on them.
Ben and the wild woman were the spiral staircase used to be, she's too busy playing with her nnnnuuts! haha
The other side of the burg
