this where Loreley sat and waited for ships-she was seated on the top of the mountain
another old aged castle
would you believe! I am really in fantasy land
this is my favorite place....you know why? go and see
A castle in the middle of the Rhine River-this was a toll gate during the middle aged. A chain placed
both side to the river bank in order to block ships in passing through. This chain put down when they pay tax to the owner of the caslte above.
I feel I am the queen
or I am Loreley
my cam is battery low this time
this is the last castle, battery is empty as I am so sleepy taking all these castles.
My easter Monday is so wonderful. Journey along the fantasy land where Grimm Brother´s fairy tales took place makes me one of the princesses or queens. All these castles are part of Germany´s history and most of these were the true settings of Grimm Brother´s fairy tales. Next time, I will visit Sleeping Beauty´s castle and the Seven Hills. And I will show you more beautiful, wonderful and scenic pictures of castles own by Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.
See you next time in the fantasy land!
