Today we visited our fourth castle on our tour of “Chocolate, Cheese, and Castles!” We started with the castle that Wolfram showed us, which was ruins from the 1200s. The castles in both Prague and Heidelberg where in various states of both incredible opulence and ruins. Schloss Drachenburg in Königswinter is in pristine condition from the late 1800s. Although it has never been lived in, it is completely furnished. We started by winding our way through very small streets to find the entrance up to the castle. Once there, we took a trolly up the side of the mountain to the very top where we had an incredible view of the Rhine River.
After looking around from the top, we made our way back down to the castle itself.
Before going in we had a look around the Gardens.
We walked around the outside of the castle, then went inside to look around.
We couldn’t resist doing one song in the great Hall!
