I love Germany, from the castles, villages to the food!



Burg Eltz



A great castle! The tour is well worth it to find out what real castle life was like.



Neuschwanstein



This is what Walt Disney used for inspiration. It gets around 1.3 million visitors a year.



Burg Rheinfels



This used to be the largest castle on the Rhein until it was blown up by the French. The ruins are still awesome.



Wurzburg, The Residenz



From the 1700s, in Baroque styling with a huge ceiling fresco.



Meersburg



Great little town on Lake Constance at the Swiss border. The castle has a fantastic medieval armor display.



Phalz Castle



Used for tolls on the Rhein



Porta Nigra



The Roman gate to the City of Trier. Trier was once one of the capitals of the Roman Empire under Constantine.



Bacharach



Another town on the Rhein .... with a castle



Hohenschwangau



Right next to Neuschwanstein



Steiff Museum



No, Jeane, we can't bring that bear back with us!



DACHAU



It was a very cold, snowy day when we went here. This is the time of year that could help you appreciate some of the suffering these people went through. May we never forget.
